Heading into this game it's basically...

Illinois fanbase: we beat a great Iowa State team. Bring on UConn!

Our fanbase: boy does Iowa State blow. We're going to smoke Illinois.

I'd imagine the truth is somewhere in between close game terrority regardless of who wins.

Knuckleheads are saying that ^^

Don't overlook or underestimate anybody. If they say they want to get out and run, they're going to try and get out and run. Be ready for it and respond accordingly. Deep benches aren't afraid to run all night.

What fan bases including ours say is inconsequential for the players and coaches of these 2 teams at this point. Both teams are going to lay it all on the line and see what happens. I just don’t think Hurley or the players are even aware of this bulletin board crap.

What flaws did NW expose? Our team can get a little complacent when we're up by 30?
That’s actually been our biggest flaw — taking the foot off the gas early when the game has been won — and NW did expose it. It’s not a flaw that’s going to cause us to lose, but they did expose our flaw.

If they want to beat Uconn they will have to score more then 72. Uconn will be dropping 90+ on their defense, and Uconn is a better defensive team then Iowa St.

Anyone remember this UConn quote? "They said they wanted to run with us...they don't know anything about running with us."
Don't remember that one, but one I especially like was AS saying, "They thought they could win tonight. They could not."

It definitely could cause us to lose. We only have to do it against a good team that can score for disaster to kick in. Hurley is so cranked up and tuned in to this stuff that they should be prepared for it, but single game elimination is always a bear for 67 teams. There’s just no room for a bad night, a mental lapse or taking your foot off the gas at this point. I’ve got that March stomachache kicking in.

They didn't expose that flaw. We've had that flaw for the entire season.

LOL It sounds like something Sanogo would say. : "They thought they could win. They could not."

They were rated better but my eye test says different.
