In CA so have to DVR game and watch tonight. I love the win or go home format of tourney.

I feel reasonably confident due to our strong BTT performance. We easily could have folded when we fell behind by double digits in each game but we rallied each time to get the win.

This is veteran team and coaching staff. The Maryland, Northwestern, Michigan State and Penn State losses taught the team they had to bring their A game for 40 minutes. If we had won 2 or 3 of these games we would have been in play for #1 seed. However you still have beat everybody in your regional to go to final 4, whether you are #1 seed or #16 seed so it does not really matter.

Go Illini

I'm not nervous, but I am antsy to see the Illini continue this streak of high level BB as they did in the BTT.....but without the double digits lead by the opponent.....sooner or later that MIGHT bite our arse......MIGHT............

With the maturity and connection this year's team has I expect the Illini to come out focused and ready to show college BB fans who we are.......a very talented and confident array of skilled players with unique talents that allow us to wear down teams and get the W.......we have sooooo many weapons that I think we win by double figures unless some inept ref's try to take over the game with quick twitch calls...........so my idea for todays game is...........................

Illini 84
morehead st 69

on to the next game ..................1 down , 5 to go.......................HELLS YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!
