Not that it probably matters either way, but think Creighton would have been better off just missing the 2nd FT

It's actually shocking to me that UK spends ONLY12.4 x as much as St.Peters. From a revenue standpoint, I'm guessing they make at least 50x more.

I have visions of pruman and NL#3 strutting down Main St. Paducah in their Illini gear.

Better yet , we might go to Walmart tomorrow in our Illini gear and act as greeters ......

"" Hi , how you doing ?? ""
"" Tough loss last night , huh ? ""
"" Those new assistant coaches really worked out for you , huh ?? ""

Naw , NL # 3 and I will be preparing our pre-game meal and getting ready for the Illini busting out the B1G pride and rolling into the second round tomorrow.....

Only thing that could make this already great day even better is a John Groce upset tonight. He's one former Illini coach I can always root for. Probably the only one, now that I think about it.

Just remember he said "I ain't going to Illinois, they ain't about !!!!" on Ig live before he committed.

I like Freeman for Akron. I don't think even Fletch could do much for him though.

That feels like an all-time shocker beyond just a normal 2-15 upset. St Peter's wasn't even that good by their small conference standards, and Kentucky was a popular final 4 pick with the Wooden Award favorite.

Both LaPhonso Ellis and our friend Seth Davis had KU in the Final 4, but let’s all remember, we ain’t won !!!! yet. And last year we got beat by a nun as a #1 seed.

Love that the Illinois rule had a small part in Kentucky going down. That out of bounds call came at a HUGE moment in OT. Karma.

Oh yeah. Excellent call.

Wonder if McDermott might be headed to one of the current openings

This is ALMOST as good as us winning isn’t it?

No not at all

Kentucky gets upset. UCONN gets upset. Iowa loses. Indiana gets destroyed.

I would add Lon Kruger to that list. But that's about it.

It's obvious how stressful CBB is. No coaches or broadcast talent has hair.

IlliniForceOne · Mar 17, 2022

Let’s say Coach Calipari is to leave, as many UK fans think. With Chin and Antigua in place…is Underwood a candidate, assuming we have a decent to good tournament run?

Candy A$$es and Idiot’s losing. Scum having to come back. Really need Illini to get a win for themselves and the B10….. Conference doesn’t need another 2021 embarrassing Tourney on their resume.

It'll ruin my bracket(s) but I'm rooting for St. Peter's over Kentucky. My guess is though that the Wild Cats will pull through in the second half.

I've never been more glad to be wrong!

drsmitty74 · Mar 17, 2022

Never been as satisfied with a busted bracket as I am today. KY, IA, IN....

I'll raise you: the Badgers can be even colder 'cause they're, like, right between two lakes. That wind...
