9 points, 7 turnovers for the “national player of the year”
They’re probably too classy to hold up a handmade “big ten champs” sign.
Not a good look for B1G thus far overall. And hopefully the UMHoops crowd now realizes any tournament win is a good one.
They got a strong 8, but they think they’re a championship team - should be able to get by them regardless.
They going out to hang a round of 64 banner after this?
man this game was remarkable. I could have seen a back-and-forth nailbiter but Loyola just pounded them all day.
Their fan base: cheated out of a big ten regular season championship and a national championship (thanks to seeding).
Reality: You still have to win the games.
Ugh, now I feel for Kofi after seeing that. I don’t want to see crying defeated players.
Let’s gooooo!
What a terrible shame that Illinois can’t consistently concentrate for 40 minutes every game
Is Loyola gonna hang a B1G 10 Champs banner now?
“Scored 3 More Points Against Loyola Than Their Defensive Average”
Lol, soul crushing for illini fans
Yeah not a fluke. Loyola was by far the better team today.
Could be us tomorrow night but I don’t care!
Good teams sometimes lose. Great teams sometimes lose wire-to-wire to an 8 seed as a 1 seed.
No gimmicks about it just absolutely handled by Loyola
Boy, I feel so terrible for all around wonderful human being, Brad Underwood.

I feel bad for Ayo. Really a cool kid. Only got 2 NCAA games under his belt. Makes me sad seeing him walk off. Hope he’ll do well in the NBA
