    No but there is a very likable , big smile having , underdog who is putting up big numbers in both conference and NCAA tournaments. Let's see if he and his team can take down mighty Edey and the Boilermakers.

    Uconn 2011 run was similar. Five wins in five days for conference tournament championship ( with a buzzer beater against Pittsburgh) after losing 4 out of five to end the season. Followed by six straight in NCAA tournament to take the trophy home to Storrs,CT.

    UConn 77, Illinois 52 Postgame

    Seeing the tears, streaming down the faces of some of the young men on your Illinois players faces was a humbling reminder that this game is more than just a spectator sport. More than just for the fans but that there are emotions and hearts involved. There are the relationships that have been...

    The UMass rivalry felt like it only lasted a minute. UMass wasn't good long enough for UConn fans to consider them a true rival. Calipari was just so easy to hate.

    One of you posters commented on how Creighton ? frustrated UConn and once the wheels came off , the truck stopped rolling. I think that's the key and if I were Illinois I'd focus on Spencer. He's high IQ , phenomenal shooter and all the heart of the team. UConn seems to lose when one player...

    Uconn fan here , I have a few friends who are big Illinois fans and we've been talking all morning about tomorrow's game. Over on the Boneyard message board there is a ton of more detailed conversations about particular matchups. There's also a ton of respect given to your boys , they deserve...
