IU certainly has a shot since that will be one of those awful 55-51 games, but as much trouble as White had against those 6'7" white guys from Gonzaga, he'll get killed by UCLA playing that way.

IU will be in that game through out, but in the end UCLA's guards will just be too much imo and they'll pull it out.

OMGOMGOMG, SIU MIGHT LOSE THEIR COACH AGAIN, OMG!!!

 

Moccia better pony up. The rumor is a deal worth 500K base plus incentives, time for the alumni to sweeten this pot. Minnesota is not a better situation than what he has going, despite facilities. Lowery would have to rebuild that team from the bottom up.

Donate some damn money. Seriously though, we gotta keep Chris around, unfortunately, if he goes we're losing a lot more than just him. If we can keep him around, this program is going to continue to get better as the prospects he's landing us are just outstanding. If he goes, well there's a possibility we lose Fay, Roundtree and Booker, and all of the sudden we're in a s*** load of trouble. I pretty much think we're going to lose him, I better be wrong.

I think Moccia has something up his sleeve, and hopefully Lowery chooses his Alumni over alot more money.

Hopefully you're right, I just don't have a good feeling about it.

It's a win-win for me in the IU game. In my bracket, UCLA is in my final four, after getting past Indiana, Pitt, and Kansas. However, I have no problem with IU destroying my bracket to make a little bit of noise in the tournament. My bracket will be destroyed regardless.

I was about 8 rows from that Mike Davis tantrum. It was a very sad site to see.

I was there too, unfortunately.

UCLA will win by 15+

UCLA will win by 15+

Most anti-IU guy I know, but that's alright, he's just uneducated.

UCLA will win by 15+

Ha, if you gave me 15 I'd take IU all day.

What game were the refs watching on that non call in the Illnois/Tech game a few minutes ago?

Illini gonna pull off the upset

Only because they got the refs in their backpocket seemingly. I've seen 2 crap calls (and non calls) the last few minutes.

no, they'll win because they're better

Not from what I've seen the last few minutes. Tech seems better right now, they just can't buy a damn break.

If I were Illini Id go for the win on this possession. Might as well either win or lose with the ball in your own hands.

wow, total choke by illinois

No idea what ILL was doing but that was ugly

WOW

 

f***ing meltdown, complete meltdown.

F***ing Illini...screwing up a perfect round for the Big Ten.

 

If USC wins, this will be the first year in like a decade without a 12>5.

They had a couple of no-calls at the end there on Pruitt and Carter, but the last 10 minutes of that game were crap offensively for the Illini. They couldnt penetrate to save their lives.

I wish they would have won, but atleast they showed up and gave a much higher seed a really tough time. Maybe if the Big 10 had gotten more respect Illinois gets a better first round match up and wins.

That was pretty much a perfect matchup for UofI. That team was very undisciplined, and U of I and their defense were able to take advantage for the first 30+ minutes. If the Illini adjusted AT ALL offensively in the second part of the second half they would've won comfortably.

Wow, I really thought they had that game...a choke of a finish...

You're kidding, right? big 10 got 6 including all their bubble teams on a down year. Maybe the Big East can feel disrespected for not getting a worthy cuse team in with the unbalanced schedule excuse or a mid-major like the caa for not getting a team with a pretty good resume like drexel in, but I just can't see how you keep saying the big 10 isn't getting enough respect...
