Games Thread - The Final Four

Clingan is way off of his game defensively tonight. He played out of his mind at that end against us

He was on it in the 1st half.

 

[Champaign88]

Clingan is having to run around on the perimeter because of all of Alabama’s shooting. Alabama is also doing a lot more driving to kick than just driving to score.

I can't help but root for the team that destroyed us, to feel better about our loss.

Plus I want to see the Edey vs. Clingan match up

The refs won't know who to not call a foul on

"He's flopping" as Castle uses both arms to discard the screener.
Right, Danny.

Hurley’s a tool.

Dan Hurley always looks like he is berating a poor Olive Garden waitress for forgetting his fourth basket of free breadsticks.

So why's attacking Clingan working for Alabama's Nelson?

He's tall AF and is a pure scorer. That's one guy we didn't have.

I’ll take Mark Sears as a graduate transfer…should have a Covid year!

I'll take things that have absolutely happened for $1000, Alex.

Wonder if his hand injury has limited his pushing.

He's about the same height and weight as Coleman though

 

[Illini_1105]

What’s the general consensus on Nate Oats. Do people like him or is he slimy?

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

This has been a better game than I expected.

 

[jumpingjack]

He's just a better pure scorer. Coleman is a much better facilitator and help defender, IMO.

 

[Seppuku]

sigh… Alabama is playing UConn the way I hoped and expected the Illini would.

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

This is the highest I've seen Sears stock since the 90s

 

[OrangeBlue98]

This has been a better game than I expected.

Alabama is shooting 50% from 3 and still down 8 after a 35-foot logo 3.

In other words, you just can't beat UConn unless they have a massive clunker of a game. Alabama is Rocky in Rocky I - fighting the fight of his life and still being defeated.

 

[BillyBob1]

I would like to see Sears go into the portal.

 

[OrangeBlue98]

Do Painter’s retirement plans accelerate if he wins on Monday?

Matt Painter is 53 years old - only 5 1/2 years older than I am. He's basically been preparing for this job and then coaching at his dream job his entire life. No way is he retiring for a very, very long time.

 

[LvilleILL]

Mama played their A game and they lost by 14...just crazy. We might not see a college team this good for a long time

 

[jumpingjack]

Cam Spencer is definitely a prick.

 

[Seppuku]

UConn-PU should be a good game; I think PU matches up very well with UConn.

 

[jumpingjack]

This is the highest I've seen Sears stock since the 90s

I kept trying to come up with a catalog joke but I didn't want to mail it in.
