This is exactly what went through my mind too! Nice postI was watching the highlights of the 2005 game against Arizona and realized that Dee Brown pulled a Cayden Boozer at the end of regulation. Fortunately, Luther Head prevented a Braylon Mullins.

Just wondering if beating Michigan in the title game is better than beating the team that beat Michigan to get to the title game. We could rub that into Michigan for many, many years. Also, that team from out West, from the things I've read, seems to be far more arrogant at the present time. They pretty much think the Michigan game is the title game. It would be so nice to beat them in the title game.

If we beat Arizona it'd almost be like beating Michigan twice.
Any ideas on team hotel in Indy? Taking my family of 6 up tomorrow and Friday for fan fest (much cheaper

That about sums it up, actually.
Yeah I root for most Big Ten teams against other conferences and in theory it's better for Illinois that Big Ten teams win (both financially and as far as boosting our program prestige). But still, I can't in most circumstances bring myself to root for Michigan. If it was Purdue that'd be a different story.
However, it also depends on their opponent. I don't have animosity towards Arizona. But if the opponents were flipped and Michigan were going against UConn? I'd be rooting for the meteor #1, but barring that I gotta root for Hurley to lose. There is nobody in the entire sport of basketball who needs to be humbled more than that guy. I am glad we have the chance to be the ones to do it (and I don't have to root for Michigan to do it).
Not that Flipping bad; it doesn’t!!!
Anybody but Michigan. Any-Bod-y!
And that’s saying a lot because I wanna see “Hurley” cry on national television.
So you’re okay with Musty Day going there and immediately winning a natty?
Did I mention that it’s Michigan? Michigan.

The most underappreciated play of that game. That's a clean look for one of the best shooters in the country if Head doesn't recognize the situation.I was watching the highlights of the 2005 game against Arizona and realized that Dee Brown pulled a Cayden Boozer at the end of regulation.

It was just as close to being an outlet pass for an easy layup for the final four and being a hero as an unintended assist for Arizona and being the donkey. Luckily alls well that ends well.
Maybe it's been discussed already, but do the teams get to practice in Lucas Oil on the game court? Seems like a good idea for the teams to get used to a much different shooting background so the games aren't a brick fest at least to start anyway.

I was at the game. He saw Deron was behind their defense and was going for the long pass. I've always wondered had that pass been on the mark would it have ended the game.I was watching the highlights of the 2005 game against Arizona and realized that Dee Brown pulled a Cayden Boozer at the end of regulation.

Me too. I was kinda shocked watching it last night. My memory was that we beat them like a bad drum. Although I remembered the Roger Powell putback dunk, forgot about the heater he went on.
Yes. They have practices on the court. There's an open to the public practice on Friday, but I assume they have a closed session on Thursday since they drove there today

I hope both teams continue to think that way.
Poor Mick has to mention multiple times Petrovic is making $1M (allegedly) and doesn’t even play now.
Is he right on the price tag?
