whitesoxfan99 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Ugh, I heard Jim Burr is in Tulsa reffing games. How the f*** is that motherf***ing joke of a ref allowed to ref NCAA games? No f***ing accountability whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 WTF A&M? That was an absolutely piss poor job on the offensive end in the last 5 minutes. I thought the Aggies had a shot to beat ND. Not so sure FSU has the same shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 We got Marv Albert & Steve Kerr for the Illini game....sweet. Terriers hanging in there for the first 12 minutes. Self just struggles with those 'B' opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 UNLV looks absolutely awful. Half their shots aren't even hitting the rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 UNLV is pretty terrible. Illinois starting to make stupid decisions with the ball. You can tell they know they're the better, more talented team, which sets them up perfectly to let them back in the game and lose in the 2nd half.

bigruss Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Shocked that the Illini stepped it up in this game, hopefully they can do it again vs. Kansas. Of course, they still battled with sloppiness in the last 5 minutes of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Well it's nice to see the seniors show that they care a little bit. If they played like today all year, they would be a 4 seed, not a 9. Â I don't think they will beat Kansas, but man is the bracket set up nicely if they can pull it off. Jerrance Howard needs to spend the next two days recruiting Ali Farokhmanesh.

And they punished the UNLV pressure which I absolutely didn't think would happen. The last 5 minutes I think they were clearly tired and had a big lead. It was still their best game of the year.

Â So...Bielfeldt (sp?) supposedly said Illinois has a spot for him next year if he wants it and both Bertrand and Griffey have denied they will transfer. The coaching staff must know that at least one scholarship will open up somehow. It will be interesting to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all their struggles Illinois is still much better than UNLV. Illinois didn't need to bring their A game to beat this team, they needed their A game to smoke this team, which they did. Kansas is a whole different story. Unless Illinois gets career days from their bigs, the Morris twins will dominate. It's a well put together team.

PeavyTime Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) As much as I've ragged on Illinois this year, they are extremely underrated. I'll bet that hardly anyone realizes that Pomeroy has them at 16th in the country and Sagarin has them at 19th. I'm not saying they will, because they are choke artists, but Illinois can beat Kansas.

LittleHurt05 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 A mod at the Illinois scout board posted this, sounds like Richmond probably won't play Sunday. He did seem pretty into the game on the bench though. Jeremy was supended for a serious violation of University/DIA rules. He will be out awhile. We will allow no wild speculation. It is a university matter and not a public matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Brian's rumor a month ago about Richmond's grades is making the rounds again. Sounds like Richmond punched Brandon Paul in the face a few days after getting into an argument with the seniors at the BTT. Lots of doubt about his future in Champaign.

Â I don't think anybody doubts Illinois has the ability to beat Kansas. The question is, will they put on the performance necessary to do so. I say no, because I don't think they can do what they did yesterday twice in three days, and I think a performance like they put on for the first 35 minutes yesterday is what it'll take to beat Kansas. However, I did not think Illinois was even capable of playing a game like they did yesterday once with the lack of heart I had seen all year before yesterday. Maybe they figured something out, and if they did, they'll be a tough out for the Jayhawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have talent, but their RPI sits at 48 which is a more accurate assessment of what the team actually achieved instead of how good or bad they looked doing it.

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I don't know how anybody could say Illinois is underrated. They underachieved all season, and the fact that a 9-9 in conference, 14 loss overall team made the tournament comfortably shows they're certainly not underrated.
