March 1, 201412 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 1, 2014 -> 05:59 PM) What was that about? Illinois was bricking FTs. Yeah, that made no sense. I mean their chances of winning there were incredibly small but you should always extend the game if you have a chance at all.
March 1, 201412 yr Also, Illinois' defense has been absolutely spectacular lately. Hill and Nunn has helped on offense but we are actually a much better defensive team since they have moved into the starting lineup.
March 1, 201412 yr QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 1, 2014 -> 05:17 PM) So win out, win a game or two in the tourney, dare we say NCAA berth Beating three straight ranked teams to end it would definitely strengthen our chances. I still don't like the odds though.

The odds are still really bad that they beat both Michigan and Iowa but if they did they would be in good shape to make the NCAA tourney by simply winning their first game in the Big 10 tournament.
March 2, 201412 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 1, 2014 -> 05:56 PM) B10 is insanely deep. It's either that or it's very bad. I can't figure out which one.

March 2, 201412 yr Author We need the March Madness folder so we can start our epic Arch Madness thread.
March 2, 201412 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 1, 2014 -> 06:42 PM) We need the March Madness folder so we can start our epic Arch Madness thread. I agree. I'll start bothering Heads. HEADS WE NEED HELP
March 2, 201412 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 1, 2014 -> 06:14 PM) I don't think it's bad. It's competitive. Step below ACC. I'm kind of coming around. The difference is that some teams they face won't be used to the style. My boys will befuddle some teams. However if they run into hot shooting it's over. Tough brackets for sure.

March 3, 201412 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 2, 2014 -> 04:45 PM) Heads must still be hungover from yesterday's game. Kansas State is not a good matchup for ISU
March 4, 201412 yr It'll be interesting to see if Illinois' defense can maintain this pace. 4 opponents under 50 is pretty impressive, even if only one of them was a real quality opponent. Honestly now that Illinois has offered that slimmer of hope of having a a chance at an NCAA berth, they'll promptly f*** it up and lose by 15. But hey, at least i'm excited to watch a game in March. 2 months ago I didn't think that would be possible.
March 5, 201412 yr Author QUOTE (Boogua @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 06:28 PM) Lol. Like I'm ever right in my feelings
March 5, 201412 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 08:50 PM) Inexcusable to lose like that. Hope we can still make the nit When a team shoots ~70% from 3 on 20+ attempts it usually means its a blowout.
