    Selection Sunday (Bracketology Thread)

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the tournament already seeded before today's outcome is known? With the exception of an auto-bid, which isn't on the line. I'll take a three seed. TSJ has Final Four talent and is on fire. He had a lot to overcome this season, and he looks ready to continue...

    NCAA Tournament Ticket/Where to Watch Advice

    If you still can, volunteer. My mother did this and that's how I ended up seeing Florida repeat as champs in the final game. They are very generous to their volunteers. You might miss the early rounds and the game you actually want to see...but you might get lucky and you might see your fav team...

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

    Joining this thread after zooming through about 60 minutes of play. It was like time traveling, and I want to admit that I jokingly told myself "we have them right where we want them" when we were down by double-digits in the first half. Nebraska is a good team and they have nothing to be...

    Maryland 76, Illinois 67 Postgame

    I'm torn between quoting Taylor Swift: "In my defense, I have none." and responding with this clip: In all seriousness, we weren't *there* yet last year, and that is...of course...subjective. For the record, the OSU loss in 2005 was the last meltdown in my mind. I would count Penn St the year...

    Maryland 76, Illinois 67 Postgame

    On the positive side, I can't remember the last time we had this epic of a meltdown.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

    Maryland: We suck! Illinois: What? You want us to suck? Maryland: No...WE suck! Illinois: You think you are the champions of sucking?!?! Watch this!

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

    The broad side of a barn just called. Since the team hasn't woken up, it left a voice-mail consisting of three words: "You missed, haha!"

    Week of 1/8 Games Thread

    The TCU floor is giving me a seizure. It's like it looked at Oregon's floor, noticed how annoying it was, and said, "Hold my beer!"

    Michigan State a 7? Did the committee mix them up with PSU? Did they watch the Iowa game?

    Pregame: Illinois vs Arkansas, Thursday, March 16th, 3:30pm CT, TBS

    Eh…I suspect if we had beat PSU, we’d get the same matchup as the higher seed. Ta-mah-to/To-mat-oh.

    Are we allowed to don Texas uniforms in the tourney? I need to know before making my prediction…
