I'm surprised the game was so close for so long when we had absolutely no concrete plan on offense and couldn't rebound for shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I kept watching and expecting them to win. They just never seemed to figure out a better game plan. I actually thought this could be a positive and have them coming out more focused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Curbelo just killed their rhythm this year. They were better with Kofi and four outside threats. I will be shocked if Curbelo stays.  Also, Kofi really should go pro.  There’s nothing more for him to prove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kofi’s the only interior threat, the other 4 guys (or at least 3) on the floor need to be legit outside threats. Most of the time, the Illini only had 1-2 at most who could shoot. Not sure what was going on with Williams, but he was useless - seemed afraid to shoot. Edited March 20, 2022 by Middle Buffalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandison basically not playing after his shoulder injury hurt this team a lot. Cause he could at least shoot, unlike Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Big Ten sucks. Men’s and women’s. Hard to have to root for Michigan/Howard and Purdue.  Stings even more to see where both Iowa State teams are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d probably make more money at Illinois next year then playing pro though.   Belo was terrible but he played limited minutes in a lot of games and the offense still wasn’t good a lot of the time.  Teams figured out that you just can’t leave Plummer ever and Frazier had his typical inconsistent play since he’s a really mediocre shooter.  Just a really limited group of players outside of Kofi.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralChamps21 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 After the second round, I like to compare the conferences' Top 16 seeding to the number of teams they actually got into the Sweet 16. Conference / # of Top 16 seeds / # of Sweet 16 Teams SEC / 4 / 1 B12 / 3 / 3 B1G / 3 / 2 P12 / 2 / 2 BEast / 2 / 2 ACC / 1 / 3 WCC / 1 / 1 AAC / 0 / 1 MAAC / 0 / 1 Â Underperformed: SEC. Only 1 of 4 made it to the Sweet 16, and that one was the lowest seeded of the four. Perhaps the conference was overrated. Overperformed: ACC. We heard all year about how down the ACC was, but they got 3 teams through to the Sweet 16 and very nearly a 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACC was down, no question about it.  So many of the bottom teams were terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 If Gonzaga, Duke (in Coach K's final go-around) and Arizona (down 7 in the first half to Houston) all go down tonight... Might be one of the lowest rated Elite 8's in recent memory with the lack of star power.  Villanova becomes one of the favorites now despite having almost an anonymous/underrated conference season.  Jay Wright has quietly become one of the Top 5 if not 3 coaches in basketball. And impressive if Texas Tech can lose Beard and hardly miss a beat with a new coach but essentially the same oppressive defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Kenpom taking victory laps again after Houston takes down Arizona. Once again, Illinois got paired with a very under-seeded team. I was pissed when I saw the draw. I'm not saying this Illini team would have won anything, I'm just salty the committee has to constantly give this team bad matchups against under-seeded teams as a 1 seed and then a 4 seed. Edited March 25, 2022 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) KU has to be the favorite at this point...or Duke. Although it will probably be Nova. UNC against St. Peter's? Iowa State against KU?  Can't be many surviving brackets at this point. Edited March 26, 2022 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
