Game Thread: Illinois vs Loyola Chicago

[GrayGhost77]

Whole lot of brackets busted today, including most of this board's.

Gift charge call there

 

[SuperMetroid]

How do we let Krutwig waddle 45 feet to get the inbounds pass there?!

 

[JAbada]

I will just watch too. It was.a great year.

 

[freebird6]

Weimer loves the Blarge call. Gave an offensive there

Start fouling.

 

[ChocolateThunder]

Great game today from Kofi. Way to hit all these FTs

Krutwig beat Kofi like a drum almost every time he touched the ball. Professional scouts will be taking note. How many shots did KC miss today?

 

[CubsWin]

Brad's "don't take threes until you absolutely have to" strategy is self-defeating at times.

 

[Hopingfor500]

As much as we want to point fingers, let's give it up for Loyola. They were better. Not really anything that can be done to dispute that. Give credit where it's due.

 

[azillini1]

schooled us on how to ball screen

 

[TheChief4Life]

In '05, we were down by 9 with 1:36 left; Arizona had possession of the ball.

I'm not hopeful, but I AM saying there's still a chance. Now, Arizona made some boneheaded turnovers and Illinois had some luck in the last 1:30 of that game...

 

[RockfordIllini]

Fake rally time?

 

[Deep]

This sucks but I think Illinois basketball is back and we will be good for a while

Kofi went 7/12 from FGs. 7/8 on FTs

Porter has a board out Brad is just letting Gentry talk

 

[GilThorpe]

99% of me was convinced we were going to the Final Four . Hard to accept Loyola knocked us out in the 2nd round . It was not our day . we were behind the ENTIRE GAME

 

[Ramrod2010]

Fitting

 

[CurbeloYourEnthusiasm]

Ugh...Ayo having a nightmare game

 

[LJ22]

Ayo, that's embarrassing.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

Love this team, hate to see it end this way. Hopefully time will wash away the memory of this game and let the rest remain. Unfortunately the aftertaste of this one may linger for a while

 

[tyrannosaurus scorus]

Getting out to a hot start was key to this game, and we didn't do it. Hard to play from behind against this Loyola squad

 

[Retro62]

I hate these games where you feel you are beaten halfway through the first half. It just never looked like we would do anything to contend.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Ayo letting the Pillsbury doughboy school him in his final moments in college. I hate everything

 

[SescIllini]

Outcoached and outplanned but Krutwig stripping our pgs come on

Nice job Loyola. Hope you win it all.
