I wish the refs would put away their whistles this game, last few mins both sides seemingly nonstop. Let kids play.

Looks like it's a win, but it didn't look pretty.

Illini 5 straight BT wins! :)

I'm going to the last game against Nebraska (day after Unofficial). Hopefully they go 2-1 before then.

I'd be ecstatic if they go 1-2.

Illinois only plays Michigan before the Nebraska game so going 2-1 will be kind of difficult.

Anyone going to the Big Ten tournament? A couple of friends and I looked but the tickets were kinda pricey, like 400 bucks for the weekend. Sold out now of course, so it doesn't matter, but we decided to take off Friday and head to a bar for the day instead. The tournament should be a lot of fun to watch this year.

I thought about it but between taking off a few days for Arch Madness and taking Thursday-Friday off for the first week of the big dance, I couldn't swing it.

 

Speaking if which, my Arch Madness tickets came in the mail today. Hooray!

Do you always go to Arch Madness?

I went 4 straight yrs when I was in Carbondale but between being poor and that asshole coach we had, I haven't been in 3 or so yrs.

I hear ya. This will be my sixth straight.

lol, dont think I've ever watched a Miami game where the opposing fans chanted "OVERRATED" and seen the court stormed.

 

 

 

Also saw some kids trip and get run over. Hope they're ok.

Miami had that loss coming, they've been playing pretty poorly the last 3 or so games.

Third game in a row the shots didnt fall. But unlike the previous two games, their defense didnt show up. Not going to win many games with you allow your opponent to make 7-10 3's in the first half on the road.

 

Oh well, it seemed like this team has been pressing some. Maybe the loss can get them to relax for the last 2 weeks for the regular season.

TCU's starters combined for 0 points in the first half.

Well, Otto Porter had quite the first half. Porter had 16 points, the rest of the team 5. For a little bit there Porter was almost beating Syracuse single handedly. Kind of a poor game, though.

Cuse's shot selection in the first half was piss poor. If you want a more fun game to watch turn on CSU-UNM. Very fun game so far. Best offensive team in the MWC vs the best defensive team.

Just like the good ole days. Salukis win bracket buster! Sigh

Freaking pathetic. Iowa chokes away a massive lead. They've choked a ton this year. They should have at least 3 more wins that they just flat out blew. 21 point lead against Nebraska and you blow it. Sickening. Bye bye tourney hopes. Only thing that makes up for that loss is for them to win out (including a win @ IU) in the regular season and 2 BTT wins.

I would have, but my roommate is a Georgetown fan.

WTF Richardson. Just absolutely terrible play to let Michigan go on an 8-0 run. No hustle and absolutely awful shot selection.

DJ and Paul lost this game for Illinois today. Brutal efforts from both of them.

Half-court traps at the perimeter worked almost every time.
