Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

[jayd]

Last time we played to advance to the final four it was the night before Easter. Ask Arizona how that turned out. Go Illini! Make it a super soaker night!

I’ve never been so nervous for an event that I’m not actually participating in.

11 or more made 3s and 11 or fewer turnovers and the Illini win.

Let’s go boys!!

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

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 haven't budged.

Being the underdog actually gives me some comfort.

Everyone caught that Doug Shows was part of the crew that ref’d our 2005 comeback against Arizona right?

Hawkins is going to have to guard him

 

[TentakilRex]

Game started with some comedy

 

[FoundersClub]

Hawkins doesn’t stand a chance against their big.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Not great.

 

[PopChampaign]

I don’t like this matchup with Hawkins. Looks like he will eat all game if we continue with this strategy

 

[New Creation]

[madillini4]

[blife]
