Game Thread: Illinois vs Morehead State

[Illiniaaron]

I feel like I’m more nervous than I should be about this game all of a sudden. Anyone else in the same boat?

It's Illinois in the tourney. Why wouldn't you be nervous?

Welcome to March Madness?

Crank up the D and play your game. Get out and run every D rebound you haul in.

let's turn their turnovers into points. I think they have about 18 TO's a game.

Hole in your heart buddy...my sympathies

Hopefully our 3rd team All American can help us pull out a win !

Absolutely 0 excuse to not make the Sweet 16 now.

So you’re not just looking past one team, you’re looking past two teams?

 

[Illinidrew]

I am confident, and terrified. The life of an Illini fan. I am ready to be happy and/or hurt.

 

[Hammy]

Just curious,what happened to the flop rule they had last year?

Anyone else (on LG smart TV here) watching games and then getting errors saying that you can't connect to the game and you need to connect with your provided to see if the channel (TBS, truTV, whatever) is available on your subscription?

Then, I have to log out and log back in, and it's fine. Rinse and Repeat. WTF.

I have an LG OLED, but I am using Roku to watch Max. It knocked me out of an endless barrage of commercials for Max and now that I have clicked back in, it is showing me the pregame for the BYU Duquesne game. Think maybe I need to try this again...

Morehead State and Duquesne. If you told me that's who we needed to get by before the season started to get to the Sweet Sixteen, I would have thought you were crazy. This opportunity is gold. Please, please, please do not mom's spaghetti this.

 

[JFkingbuckets]

Heh. My cousin is in the back playing clarinet.

 

[GallopingGhost]

No matter what happens, I love this team and am proud of these guys and this staff.

No matter what

Oh crap. Charles picked us. We’re done.

Not only that, he said he has Illinois having a deep run in the tourney.

 

[PopChampaign]

This is what we've all been waiting for.

 

[IndyOrange]

Anyone going to watch this game on mute? Can't listen to these announcers!

 

[derrick6]

I’m happy they got to see BYU go down…

 

[Jimbo]

Ok, this is just a game. This tournament takes on more importance than it should, our season is already a success. Let’s just relax and enjoy this.

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

No, we haven't lost 3 straight in the opening round, Tom McCarthy.
