Illinois in a lot of trouble

[Tony DeFranco]

Obviously, we got a lot of work to do today but without them we would have a very realistic shot at a F4

 

[Ghost]

Shut up - they're just playing possum!

 

[SWC75]

They are my favorite for the national title but were 11 minutes into the second half and this isn't changing.

 

[brian williams]

Too much one on one offense

 

[Ghost]

Well, that was a travel.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

My family is very Illini-centric. We have 3 grads and one who’s a senior there. That being said, while it would mess up my already atrocious bracket if they lost, I’d get a perverse thrill watching theirs go up in flames as well. Oh, did I mention they love Coach K and Duke too?

 

[SWC75]

It's fun to watch centers who are 6-9 255 and 7-0 285 go at it in the paint.

Illinois looks toast

 

[Trueblue25]

They’re toast. Cockburns gassed. Loyola’s got this

 

[brian williams]

#1 going down.

Sounds like you have a smart family!

The end though. Not so good.

Concur. Loyola seems too solid/composed to blow this.

 

[Eric15]

Does Illinois have a 2005 Elite 8 run in them?

 

[Tony DeFranco]

The goon for Loyola is holding his own against Cockburn

 

[CorduroyG]

it just dawned on me that illinois is the 1 seed in our region. this could get very interesting...

thats the best comeback ive ever seen in the tourny. incredible run.

 

[Tony DeFranco]

Could u imagine what Cockburn or this goon would do against Marek?

 

[brian williams]

If he’s not dunking it, Cockburn just throws it up there.

 

[Trueblue25]

Loyola’s big is really impressive. Reminds me of a non mouth breathing version of Harangody

 

[Cusefan0307]

Loyola is no joke. Terribly under-seeded. They would be the best team we would play all year.

 

[BuffOrange]

This team is nasty; 8seed was a joke. I hate hate how they landed in Illinois' region and not Michigan or Baylor but that always happens. Lol @ everyone in the studio acting so sure it would flip when there was nothing flukey about the 1st half.

 

[Eric15]

I love this Loyola big man with his 70s Pron stache. Fundamentally sound. Doesn’t weigh 180 lbs.

Having the game of his life. I'm having flashbacks to that movie The Best of Times.

Arizona was up 75-60 with 4 minutes left to go to the Final Four and lost. I just don't know how you come back from that as a Zona fan.

 

[Ghost]

If that dance off doesn't jinx Loyola, nothing will.
