Mara may stay but I think Morez will go to the NBA if he's a high enough pick. But you make a good point either way they will be dangerous again with all those guards. May will hit the portal kombat hard tomorrow morning as well they will be deep and talented again.
I just re-watched the game IMO the major swing in UCONNs favor was in the first half. We get our first lead 22-21 UCONN misses we get the board Mirk misses a wide open bunny nobody around him. UCONN misses again we get the board Drej gets fouled misses both free throws. After that we go cold and...
I think Hurley would've got beat tonight if the Illini make shots. That game was winnable in every aspect make 3s and layups and Uconn is going home. Illini was on they heels all game cause they couldn't make shots.
Yeah it hurts but very proud as well a banner will be hung from this run. Illinois basketball is here to stay we will remain on the national stage. Underwood is a master recruiter he will get the talent to Champaign. This run will help our rep moving forward and with NIL we will rebuild and destroy.
That hurts but outstanding year the mission now is to retain Wagler somehow. Pay him 5-7 million to stay in school one more year he needs to get stronger and even more precise. The NBA isn't going anywhere would be great to retain him might be a pipedream though.
A run must come here cant wait until its only 4 minutes left. If they don't cut this to 2-6 point game by the 4 minute timeout it might be season over ladies and gentleman
Once again Uconn has 6 fouls keep playing hard get them in the bonus and make free throws. Keep outrebounding them but gotta start stopping the 3s if we cant stop they 3s nothing might matter
Even if the shots dont fall in this half keep outrebounding them and make free throws. Illini can win this game without 3s but limiting the wide open 3s and not giving up a single offensive rebound is a must. Leave it all on the floor fellas
