Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa State

[logjam]

We're not in blue unis, right? That's just a very very poor joke, right?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Do we like them or do we hate them?

Or do we even know them???

The farther the tournament goes along, I believe that the refs chosen are graded on by the coaches. Whoever gets our game are well thought of people.

We're saving the blue unis for Connecticut...

What’s your drink of choice tonight Loyalty? I am starting with Four Roses Single Barrel in an Illini rocks glass. Good stuff.

Was drinking at Mikerphone earlier (crushcrushcrush and Wiggity Wiggity Wit to keep with an orange theme). Gonna bust open a Blazed Orange from Hop Butcher just before game time.

Hop Butcher for the win!

I’ve struggled to come up with !!!! talk about Iowa State after how nice their fans were in Omaha last weekend but I’ve managed.

How you ask to speak to the manager when your vegan burger doesn’t come with enough ketchup

How you react when lululemon is sold out of the joggers you really likes to do yoga in

How you yell at your Abercrombie employees when they allow “those people” into the store

Thank goodness Cubs and World Champion Texas Rangers are on, to get me to Tip Off. I'd be lying in the recliner with Sippy cup of whiskey.

Fixed that for you.....

To be fair, that Penn State game did an emotional number on us all.

You aren't lying there. I've never given up on a season, but I was so completely distraught and flat out disappointed....I was on the cusp. That one hurt me to my core.

For the love of everything let’s get a win tonight.

We aren't starting at 9:09, are we? What is the time allotment between games?

I'm a nerd for knowing this, but because I go to the tournament every year......27 minutes.

I have a business dinner but I was the first one here so I got to choose my seat.

Tavolino -- try the veal.

(I have no idea if they have it or not but that name seems like they should)

 

[hoopsfan47]

At least I will have no concern with an Illini match-up with Arizona. They virtually threw bricks up all night and were escorted out the door by.....wait for it.......Clemson?

 

[Thaillini22]

Hot take: i'd rather have debbie and avery than harlan's two accomplices.

 

[eas23]

The blowout is going to make the UConn game finish a lot faster.

Dark Arts Bourbon drinking clean for a clean sweep to night.

The rye?

I’m so angry that no ILLINI were allowed into the building. Man, if I could have had the tickets I had bought and paid for, we would have carried the team over the top.

 

[AZILL]

I am going to be sipping on some Bulleit Rye Old Fashioned's tonight......

Courtney Green is absolutely terrible at his job, but he doesn’t hate the Illini. Hoping his familiarity combined with his ineptitude breaks in our favor.

Also, Basil Hayden here. I L L!
