The time has come.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

I’m much less nervous pre tip than I was against Iowa State.

I’m not sure what to make of that.

Go Illini.

This is house money. Enjoy it.

I keep trying to tell myself that. Easier said than done.

They’re just want future teams wearing their jersey as a special throwback. They’ll look a whole lot better if we win 3 more games!

I legit thought the same thing. They want to make their own history! I'm all in.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Let's put them to sleep early.

 

[SampsonRelpenk]

Not ready to say goodbye to this team. Let's prolong the magic!

I'm feeling an Illini VICTORY...............................I really really really am................................

I don't care who is on UCONN'S team. Pru is on ours. That gives me comfort.

 

[OskieWowWow]

Same team as Thursday night. Harlan, Bonner, and SVG.

Somebody keep Van Gundy away from Dain

So how many of us are wearing exactly the same clothes and watching from the same chair as Thur. night...other than me of course. Not hanging my guys out to dry!!!!!

I bought a Fighting Illini basketball sweater and an orange U of I shield logo hat when i was in C/U for the state tournament. I have worn both every game day since and have worn the sweater every game since. Illinois has not lost a game since I've started wearing it.

My sphincter is so tight right now you could slice rebar down there…

Would definitely ease my nerves! Haven’t felt this way since the Cubs’ Game 7 in the WS

I was born in 1943, just after my little high school won the IHSA state title in hoops. Been waiting for either them or U of I to win it all again ever since. Running out of chances here.

 

[Orange Wave]

Let’s go!!

Did you know that Dain is a bad free throw shooter? I don't know if commentary has ever mentioned it. May be something that UConn needs to exploit.

[Flyin' Illini]

That sums it up perfectly for me.

It's as simple as rebound, take care of the basketball and make shots. Go Illini.
