The breaks, simply lucky outcomes, have heavily favored UConn. Is that just a setup for an epic Illinois victory?

We are shooting 34% from the field. UConn isn't much better, but they have hit enough threes to make the difference.

Can't buy a basket, other than that I think we have played a pretty decent game in the 2nd half.

We've played decent (not great) overall against a much more experienced tourney team. If not for that slow start, this game is a wash.

Sadly, that slow start counts.

Tomi missed to close ones but is playing his !!! off. He is gased and while it sucks he missed them he is holding his own. We are playing pretty well this half but we needs some of these to fall like they have had! Its great to be in the double bonus. Huge block by Ben too!

As horribly as we have shot, we still have a legitimate chance … let’s go boys! :shield:

"The Illini are getting back into this game by going inside." Listen up, staff. Usually tough to shoot in a football stadium yet we don't go inside for 30 minutes.

Why are we not crashing the boards??

Tomi's missed drive and everyone is running away.

Guys, come on.

Some of it is because UCONN is good at sealing like we generally are. AND they also are good at releasing people > break.

But you’re right we haven’t been as effective on the boards as normal. Normally we have much more of an advantage.

Unreal this is a four point game.

We have to have some luck coming now.
