Rex Hudler Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Gotta love the NCAA Tournament. Just caught myself openly rooting for the Illini and having fun doing so. I guess anything is possible. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 The game's been over for like 7 hours and I still have no idea how we won. 3 buckets in a half. OK then. Well, see you 7:40 Sunday night. You never know. We probably beat them 1/5 times, here's hoping Sunday is the 1, not the other 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I don't really root actively against Illinois or Iowa State or WI or Creighton (probably the one I'd root for hardest), because basketball thriving in the Midwest is going to be good in general for Iowa Hawkeye BB too, but it's easier to at least not to root against those teams in the NCAA tournament than it would be to root for the Cubs in the World Series. Iowa State's had a very impressive run, Hoiberg's done great (especially recruiting) and so has McDermott. And it's nice to see Larry Eustachy back on his feet and doing well. He also took Southern Miss to the NCAA's, and it will be interesting to see if he can ever get another offer with a major conference team again.

Losing those games to Hampton and MSU were killers, back a decade ago. Edited March 23, 2013 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Marquette was really annoying me so I was rooting for Butler. Some terrible possessions down the stretch, none worse than that last play. That horrid over the back call ends up being the difference in the end, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marquette had a lot of crazy bounces/rolls on the rim go in too. Literally had all the bounces going their way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
