Pretty sure Cockburn just slapped the floor…
Ugh, that last minute hurt
I love the way Loyola players crash the defensive boards and block out. Just a clinic
Thought Loyola missed some really key chances to extend the lead late there. Illinois won’t play that poorly offensively again.

Loyola still up 9 at the half.

boy I hate the way that half ended. Could have absolutely put them away. 15 or 16 pt halftime lead. Instead, single digits.

That call was inconsistent with contact we’ve already seen in this game
So if Loyola Chicago hangs on does that make them Big Ten Champs? (via Illinois logic/reasoning)

Also that foul by Krutwig was just maddening. You gave up the dunk, now live to fight another day. Instead it started that mini-run to end the half.
We did? Imo, most here picked ILL to go to the finals over any other B1G team…

Loyola mis-seeded? They don’t much look like an 8

Krutwig may mess around and get a triple double. Somehow his season high in assists is only 7 - he’s got 4 at the half.
They’re #9 in KenPom. The only real question was whether or not they could hang with a good team, or if they just built their rating beating up on cupcakes. (They lost at Wisconsin 77-63 in their only high-major non-conference game).
FYI tomorrows M game is 7:10 pm from Lucas Oil Stad per espn on CBS.
Yes! But the good news is that due to their win over Northwestern they will have a strong case for second best team in Illinois.

Curbello is awesome. Talks so much junk and looks like a rat. A perfect BIG villain for the next few years.

4 points, 0 assists and 4 turnovers that half for some people’s NPOY

When Iowa loses to Oregon is it because Oregon got a first-round bye?
