I’d love nothing more than for Michigan to be the only Big Ten team in the Sweet 16 like last year

If Illinois loses I’ll be okay with it, but if they win I’ll be so annoyed that we never get this version of Illinois’ offense

Also played in a loss to Michigan his freshman year. Played 22 minutes in the game.

Illinois with a spectacular offensive display…
Yeesh. And even Houston for as many second chance opportunities they create, sure have a tough time getting the peach through the basket.
I think Villanova is a powered up version of CSU like somebody else said I think Hunter could have himself a day. Would be a matter of if their threes were falling. I’d probably rather face OSU who certainly could beat us but we’ve already proven we can beat.
9 of U of I’s 16 shots are from Hawkins and Curbelo. That ain’t gonna get it done, Brad.

I absolutely love watching Houston play lol. This is bonkers.

Yeah Houston with a defensive masterclass so far. Just letting the two most offensively challenged players on IU shoot themselves out of it.
Houston is also so strong and physical. Yeesh I really do not want to play them.

Underwood’s team can’t score so he’s running a lineup with Curbelo, Grandison and Melendez.

I’ll also be annoyed if they win because they’d be one game closer to playing Michigan in the Elite 8. Though I guess if we could kill Every Other Game Michigan in the tourney we could kill the Curse of Underwood
I would like to hear Jay Wright talk about how good Brooks is in the Pre game interviews for the second time

I have to say it would be so delicious breaking the Illinois curse in the Elite 8
We never will because Houston’s defense exists on a different universe than ours. This is less bad offense than just incredible defense.

What a garbage flagrant call

I’ve honestly always had a hard time drumming up enmity for OSU basketball. Unlike Urban, Izzo or Dantonio I’ve never had an issue with any personality they have - I liked the Thad teams, EJ is cool.

I think Houston is the only team in this region that has a chance of taking down Arizona.

Of course Houstan looks like they may be the better team

Underwood is getting manhandled. Get Curbelo out and get shooters in, Brad - you’ve got 'em and then they can’t double and triple Kofi.
