Was VCU an 11?

I believe so. What was George Mason?

And this is with a coach fired by ISU playing against a coach fired by UI.

Would love to see Mosur school Belein (I don't care how it's spelled) next weekend. We'll see.

Loyola is a few minutes away from heading to the final 4 “without big 10 material”. I’ll take a few players that aren’t “big 10 material”.

Krutwig was a ranked 3 star on 247...300+

A clinic in ball movement, passing, and unselfish play.

Actually bnb told a friend recently they pass it well it reminded me some of how the 05 Illini passed the ball.

you guys chalking up an Elite 8 run to a "fluke" are cracking me up. if that's all it took you'd think Illinois would have had a fluke by now

breadman · Mar 24, 2018

OK, here we go.Screws being turned up by KSU defense with 4 minutes left. Time for some excitement.

Hard to have a fluke NCAA run when you aren't in the tournament

I am not chalking up KSU to a fluke, just wondering why the KSU head coach could not produce anything close in year 6 at Ill.

I saw it called "luck", but not a fluke. And no matter who you are you rely on a lot of luck in the tourney. It just so happens that K-State got an extra dose of luck to get them where they are. That doesn't take anything away from what they have done, it is just the simple truth of the situation.

Chance to cut it to single digits with about three minutes left, K-State stands around and jacks up a three with time running out.

Chris Webber, "That great '89 Illinois team."

We've seen that BW offense before. At least DMac hit his fair share of shot clock buzzer beaters.

Bruce Weber still got to an Elite Eight and one of the teams he beat was Kentucky. Who knows? Maybe Loyola will win it all? At least Chicago has a team to root for.

Even if they lose in th FF, the state of Illinois has a team to be proud of and w model to follow.
