Final 4 Illinois game is up

[TheChamps990411]

So proud of this years team. Wish we closed the deal but 3 title games is 4 years is incredible. Hurley is the best in the business.

 

[Staven]

Agreed 100%

Spoiler alert don't watch this. The boneyard says we need 7 footers to beat a team like this.

Illinois might hate us more than Duke. Their tournament record minus UConn games is excellent.

 

[UC0NN]

Illinois will say they had point blank shots at the rim that they just missed, as well as some good looks from 3 that just didn't go in. Or else its a much different outcome.

And we can say the same thing giving us a 15+ point win going away.

Pretty good convo on the shot, and other things.

We've stopped multiple deep runs for them, Michigan State, SDSU, Purdue, Duke. Who don't we own? Maybe Kansas and UNC?

Don't think we've played UNC in the tourney. Kansas 0-1? Is there any team other than Duke that's beaten us twice in the tourney?

One crazy stat - other than the Furman game, we have covered in the last 4 tourney's. 18-1 against the spread.

Lost in the Elite 8 to UNC in 1998.

We own the corny boring big 10. Besides Michigan in title game I honestly can’t think of last time we lost to a big 10 team in tourney. Maybe 2009 final 4 in Michigan states back yard?
