    Illinois 76, VCU 55 Postgame

    According to Torvik, the Penn game was our 2nd best offensive performance of the season, and this game was the 2nd best defensive performance of the season!

    Sadly no 2005 championship game rematch, but instead we'll get a repeat of the 1st weekend in 2024 in terms of seed matchups. Hopefully we get similar results this year

    Yup lol. But with how much my dad told me about that team growing up and watching the replay of the game and other games from that year, I feel like I was there to see it.

    I really hope UNC beats VCU tonight. My friend (a UNC fan) and I have been waiting for an Illinois vs UNC tourney game for basically our whole lives.

    Pregame: Illinois vs Penn, Thursday, March 19th, 8:25pm CT, TNT

    Wagler has been a little too passive since the return of Boswell. If he goes into the tourney with the same mindset he had for the Purdue game, then I believe we can (and will) make a deep run. I hope he hasn't lost confidence in his 3pt shot and its more of a "I'm the PG, I need to create...

    Wisconsin 91, Illinois 88 OT Postgame

    I remember being 9 years old playing 2k against the CPU. If I was losing by too much with too little time left, I would change the user sliders to all 99s and the cpu sliders to all zeros and proceed to easily come back and win. This year's team is the CPU in this scenario.

    Can we please get a Nick Boyd type in the portal next year? Or John Tonje? Or good version of AJ Storr? Or Terrence Shannon? Or just anyone who's remotely athletic and wants to win?

    Did Tomi shave his beard?? I think clean shaven Tomi plays better basketball than bearded Tomi.

    Something to note: Illinois and Michigan State are now tied for the 3rd 2 seed with an average seed of 2.07 (MSU was ahead by a few hundredths this morning). If MSU loses to UCLA and Illinois wins, then we might not have to worry about Iowa State passing us.

    Plus getting a 3 seed means (potentially) playing a Houston, MSU, or UConn type team in the S16 as opposed to playing a Iowa St, Nebraska, Gonzaga, or Purdue type team.

    Assuming Nolan Winters for Wisconsin is also out tomorrow, I would say we definitely want to play Wisconsin for an additional Quad 1 win. Hopefully Washington keeps it close and wears them out.
