welcomed our 1st Grandchild on the 24th. Illini make the Final Four Saturday. Yeah, I’ve had a pretty good week.

I'm going to pick the guy I'd pick to have my back in a barroom fight no matter how big the other guys are. . With that thinking it's pretty obvious: Jake. seriously, Dude has ice water in his veins.

first 19 mins the Houston fans were sitting on their hands. If they come out and take the lead, they will erupt. First few mins of the start of the half can decide this game

with the way the half ended usually has the home team coming out aggressive to start the half and getting the fans into it

I understand the fouling strategy but it can be confusing to players as far as timing the foul. here's a novel idea: why not use your use it or lose it to explain it? Brad's lack of using that timeout for his career is mind boggling to me.

FT's have been a concern for me. We have consistently throughout the year hovered around 80%. Since Maryland we are 47-68 for 69%. Can't leave any points at the line.

How do you not foul Powers when he crosses half court? Everybody knew he was taking the shot to end the half. We had fouls to give. That’s the bench. Once again Brad chooses not to use the use or lose timeout.

I believe we are secure as a 3 seed but keep an eye on Virginia. They have a huge opportunity today. Virginia has won 13 or last 14 (lone loss at Duke). Virginia and Purdue have a chance to knock out two 3 seeds. If Purdue hasn't already knocked one out.

How bout some stones like this guy had

Since USC 50-168 From 3

Watching Iowa State and Arizona game makes me feel a bit better. Regardless of the outcome of today’s game or the BTT, we are nowhere near the level of the top 4 to 5 teams in the country. It is what it is. Let’s get to the sweet 16 and hope we don’t face Iowa state

absolutely. Kylan was the D we were missing in the first matchup, now 30 seconds in he has to play scared the rest of the half or until you get your second. If you're going to do that crap, your bench is right next to you, flex to them or maybe waive your arms to get your fans going crazy, like...

although not official awards, Jay Bilas picked his all-amercan team and I know it's his opinion but he's better than this. Stirtz is a great player but Keaton's stats are almost identical and Keaton for a large number of games carried us (2nd place tie in conference and hopefully a 2 seed) and...
