Games Thread - The National Championship

Spencer had a brief look like "Oh crap, did they forget me?"

No one does it better than Gene Honda.

Well, I’m torn. I hate the idea of Purdue getting a Natty before we do, but Hurley seems like such a smug d**k, and Painter seems like genuinely good guy. Tough call.

 

[PNWIllini]

How many minutes before Loyer flops

 

[Champaign88]

If that’s the defense Clingan can play the entire game, this one is already over.

No one does it better than Gene Honda.

Is that the Gene Honda who was once a radio DJ in Champaign?

 

[Champaign88]

Loyer has the most punchable face in college basketball.

 

[Coop70]

Why the hell do they let Hurley stand 3 feet out on the floor during play? God I hate that !!!$$$#

 

[foby]

Every UConn player has the most punchable face in college basketball.

IMHO

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

The fact Hurley gets to stand on the court and stomp his feet while the other team is on offense is absolutely ludicrous

 

[CentralILLini]

Cam Spencer or Fletcher Loyer who is the ABSOLUTE WORRRRRST

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

I was about to post that this is only the second time this millennium that #1 and #2 have met in the Championship Game, but then I saw that Purdue is ranked #3. 2005 really was an extra hyped matchup.

 

[jumpingjack]

Anyone know the latest that UCONN has trailed in any game this tournament?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Is that the Gene Honda who was once a radio DJ in Champaign?

Yes it is. I remember him judging the Eddie Gaedel Memorial Sports Trivia Bowl at IMPE when I was a student.

Letting the big men play. Edey already getting visibly frustrated.

Then he gets huge rebound dunk after posted.

 

[chrisRunner7]

Boy is Edey carrying them so far

 

[illiniguy24]

High level fun game so far. Both teams looking like they belong

 

[purcy51]

Edey looking like he's about to throw a punch

 

[foby]

Edey eating Klingons lunch.

 

[illinoisgrad1990]

We should all be following Coleman’s lead here IMO… it’s good for the Big 10 to win this thing.

Oh dang, that step through left handed finish was the type of thing I thought we might see from Clingan against Edey, not the other way around.

 

[biglug58]

Hurley really needs to get T’d up for literally being on the floor. Unreal.

 

[Epsilon]

Wow this is a good game. Just great entertainment.

 

[FoundersClub]

Fun watching the two big men trade blows.
