March 22, 201313 yr Gotta love the NCAA Tournament. Just caught myself openly rooting for the Illini and having fun doing so. I guess anything is possible. LOL
March 22, 201313 yr Wouldn't it be better if we just put the top 2 ranked teams together and had them play?

March 23, 201313 yr Missouri: L Steve Alford: Choke Bruce Weber: Still calling timeout Illini: W What a great 24 hours to be an Illini fan
March 23, 201313 yr 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.

March 23, 201313 yr 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, 201313 yr by caulfield12
March 24, 201313 yr I kinda want Butler to lose to spare me from hearing how great Brad Stevens is again. Already spared the Shaka love.

March 24, 201313 yr QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 23, 2013 -> 09:42 PM) Stevens and smart miss the sweet 16 while... I like the way you think.
March 24, 201313 yr 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!
