A small bit of bulletin board material…

Put on a bit of the UCONN presser just to see what they were saying and what kind of questions were being asked. Both Norlander and Goodman were asked UCONN questions, but they didn’t ask us anything. You’re both national guys and are in Boston, what else are you doing? Pretty clear who they are paying attention to and who they think will win. Let’s prove em wrong…

I’m going to predict a disappointing game. A great season comes to a resounding end, 91-76, uconn. But again, a great year by anyone’s standards.

They did the Illinois segment first. feature on Coleman.

Also, I put it in the wrong thread, but Ernie mentioned 11 years since overall #1 seed has won (Louisville- yikes have they fallen). Just shows the tournament is about momentum, luck, and sometimes just who has the best player.

Well deserved for Coleman to get some positive national attention. Will be a well remembered Illini forever. It will be unlikely to see another Illini with the winning history he has here.

Ok boys and girls......now's a good time to check the battery on your smart watch, pacemaker, Life Alert, defibrilator....or other heart monitor!

I'm predicting elevated blood pressure and high heart rates.

I'll put the over under on number of times my Apple Watch thinks i've fallen at 5. Since it was 4 for the last game. I'll try not to throw it into the next room.

I gotta remember no matter what happens, just how awesome this ride has been. Don’t want to assume that we’ll be right back.

That’s said, Josh and Brad have really brought this program back and I’m so thankful.

The last time Illinois was in the E8, I was at my future in-laws house to watch the game with my future father in law.

They invited me back to watch this one at their house tonight.

I'm not sure what it all means.
