Elite Eight Haiku

[QuickDraw]

Road to final 4
make illini go away
go and win today

play hard & win big
huskies show who is the best
they cut down the nets

 

[RedStickHusky]

Don't fall for the hype
Play hard, play smart, and shoot well
This is what we do

 

[FfldCntyFan]

U of I, C-U?
Illini? No, Illi-No
We’ll pop the Champaign


Step four of six on
Our quest to win a trophy
This is our mission


Dan and Cam Spencer
Are our new Road Warriors
Legion of Doom!

I will not condemn
Deepster’s anti-doom mojo
I do hope it helps


Our retired judge
Deepster is the one true Stooge
Judge Uncle Junior

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Illini, the next
Boston Massacre victims
Orange will be burnt


Whether Bai or beer
We will drink to help the cause
More free range mojo


Sydney Sweeney, our
Adopted Mojo princess
Joins our hallowed cast

Our mojo motto
“I love that dirty water
Boston your my home”


What’s next for mojo?

[Chosen]

Nervous for tonight
Saturday nights are special
We will get the win

 

[Deepster]

“Never miss a beat,
I’m lightning on my feet, and
that’s what they don’t see.”

No respect for team
That needed to bring in a
Rapist to get good

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Good omen today:
Two different husky sightings!
Mush on, team. Mush on.

 

[Yardigan]

Living on reds and
vitamin c and cocaine
Champaign misery

Typical City
Involved In A Typical
Daydream Hang It Up

Sitting And Staring
Out Of A Hotel Window
Dogs kick ass again

 

[RedDog]

Hoosiers, Northwestern
Now we get the Illini.
This is no BIG deal.

 

[Samoo]

The Hub is fitting
A place where Connecticut
Ends the Illini

 

[storrsroars]

In Pittsburgh's South Hills
There's a transitional 'burb
Called Castle Shannon

It lies between the
Wealthier Mount Lebanon
And poor Overbrook

I mention it here
Because Castle comes first and
Shannon is second

I suppose it could
Have been called Shannon Castle
When it was founded

In 1919
But the founders were prescient
And Castle came first

As he will today
While Shannon comes in second
It's been that way for

One hundred five years.
Which is also how many
Points UConn will score

Castle ascends to
Mount Lebanon while Shannon
Slinks to Overbrook

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Final Four beckons
Only one team can repeat
Take care of BIG-ness

A team in orange
Call themselves the Illini
Time to make them blue

Their very loud fans
Will know the Sound of Silence
Just as Simon says

I wish I could find
A Johnstown Flood haiku
In response to this

As illustration
Of the fate of Illinois
In Boston tonight

 

[61cygni]

Give them what they want
Full UConn experience
Sends them home early

Orange teams all suck
Blue and white are much better
Deep dish ain't pizza

What a shame that flood...
Oligarchs wanted their own
Playground and caused it.

But that's not the point,
Which is fix your second line
Before gametime starts!

 

[huskyjawz]

One Four Ninety Two
Smitty went for thirty three
Win by that today

 

[David 76]

Illini say bye
The dogs prove to be too much
Was nice to know you

Before gametime starts!

Apologies for
The error in my haiku
I will correct it


To illustrate the
fate of Illinois men's hoops
In Boston tonight

I do meekly hope
That our mojo was not hurt
By that one error

 

[mussels]

Tough matchup they say
Illini no match for Bai
blueberry tastes good

 

[UCTitleTown]

UConn Illinois
Illinois about to learn
Their run was a lie

 

[bendm]

Boston is Storrs North
Blow the damn roof off tonight
Next stop Final four

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Last year was Timme
and the Supposed best offense
Time to zaga them

 

[DALTX]

Cam, Sam, Newt, Castle,
Alex, Hassan, Cling, Stew, Ball
Are the Elite 9
