Wowwww... I actually learned something today and its not even noon yet. This shall be a great day!

However, its not too often you play Duke in the tournament, and attending that game would be something I would remember forever. In fact, if they pull it off, it probably would be the best thing I would ever attend. I mean, this is almighty Duke, 75 percent of the dome will be on our side with Xavier/Texas fans helping sway the orange and blues way. Im already pumped for the game, and its 3 and 1/2 days away. Go Illini!!

I agree with everyone else, I think everyone will be cheering for Illinois in this, besides the Duke faithful of course. Especially if they are able to get fast transition points with Dee, everyone loves pulling for the short fast point guard with energy. Im hoping to get tickets to this game, I would have no problem skipping school and driving 800 miles to go see a Illinois/Duke matchup! Go illini!

Unbelievable! I guarantee everyones brackets are screwed now. I was so pissed from Wiscy blowing their game, but this upset makes me realize again that MARCH MADNESS IS AWESOME!!!!! GO ILLINI!

SWEEEEEEEEET 16!!! CONGRATS ILLINI! THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTE PERFECT GAME! I-L-L I-N-I !!!!!!!!!!!

We did our usually meltdown at the end of the half, with Cincy going on an 8-0 run to end the half, but still up 16... 49-33. Great half, we couldnt shoot much better than that!! Go ILLINI!

23-10 Illini!!!! I thought my heart would have slowed down by now, but this fast start has got me too excited! GO ILLINI!

Minus those Jayhawks, i give that post a

44-39 Texas over North Carolina at the half. Is it time for the 2nd ACC team to lose?? Would be nice, I believe I have Texas in the Final 4 anyway. I wish this DePaul/UConn game would switch over. I was forced to watch the UIC game to its conclusion last night from living in chicago, and i missed a great UAB/Washington game.

Somehow I think that should have been in green.

SHHHHHH!!!! If its not over 10 dollars, then you wont mind if Illinois wins right? I mean, wheres the Big 10 pride!

HAHA... I hope not either! That would take hours! This has been a great 3 days of b-ball so far, who would have thought that the major upsets would happen in the 2nd round rather than the upset minded 1st round. Im starting to get nervous about tomorrows Illini game already, cincy fans on their message board are already talking about Duke. And we have never beat a seed better than us in the history of the tourney, so we'll have to make history i guess. Go Illini!

Thats what im talking about, wiscy on a monster run, up 12 with 4 to play. I swear they were down 13 points just about 10 min ago.

That entire Richmond/Wiscy 1st half was absolutely bulls***. They got every bounce off the rim and hitting 3's off balance like its no big deal. I must comment Richmond for shutting down Harris, which is something we couldnt do, all they are doing is denying him the ball. I think he's like 0-3, so he's not even getting good shots off. COME ON BADGERS! We need 2 teams from the Big 10 in the 2nd round at least!

Since i was neutral, I just thought both sides played horrible. It was tough to watch, felt like high school basketball. Im thinking that Andre Brown steps up though tomorrow against UCONN... no way he has another 0-10 performance from the line again. At least i hope not.

The Cincy game was close for the last 8 minutes... Cincy started out hot, 11-0 start, Tenn St came back and it was a great game. What do you mean no games were close? Northern Iowa had a chance to tie at the buzzer today Wake Forest wins by 1 over VA Commonwealth Seton Hall wins coming back on Arizona Alabama wins in the closing seconds against SIU. DePaul wins in double overtime (although boring as hell) Syracuse needs MnNamara's 43 to hold off BYU by 5. Maryland barely beats UTEP by 3. Nevada comes back from 16 down to beat the Spartans. And Texas Tech wins by 3 over Charlotte... I think thats a lot of close games... especially with 8 more to go tonight.

i wouldnt quite say its been boring though. A whole slew of games have been close, with upsets so close from happening. I've enjoyed all the games up til now, and now its time to cheer on the Badgers.

yeah, he definitly put a hurt on that ball. I feel sorry for the ball, that looked like a ball hit by Sheffield....

Willie with a 2 run double!!!

Good lord, Uribe's 2 run blast was on replay just now, and he swang that bat with authority! I thought Uribe wasnt going to be swinging for the fences this year.

yes, it will be on cbs in chicago.

Hahah.... the picture of Carlos trying to bunt is on the White Sox home page... its quite hilarious. This is why El Caballo is the man!

Great game... we were very lucky though that they didnt hit any 3's when they were wide open so many times in the 2nd half. They could have got confidence being only down 10 at the time. I missed Ingrams 3 pointer when they switched to the Utah/BC game... And i got to watch the exciting finish of Utah not putting up a shot when down 3 and getting a shot clock violation. Thank you CBS! :fyou Now for East. Tenn. to beat Cincy! GO ILLINI!

JACK INGRAM!!! Showing why he's the best kept secret in basketball!!

Only down 2 now, Utes are coming on strong!
