Illinois Post Game Thread

[JRDBWK]

The Illinois students wanted them, well they got them.

This summarizes what their students thought, and what they got

"If he gets a hundred blocks, he gets a hundred blocks."

Underwood is the epitome of an idiot.

Yeah, that was brutal. Like, nah, we're not going to make any adjustments. Well, ok then

 

[tzznandrew]

Region of death!? Lol.

Thank God Iowa State had the decency to lose on Thursday. It would have been 28-3 in the first half.

People afraid of spreadsheets, LOL

 

[Improviser]

Like that old saying about defining idiocy. Keep doing the same thing over and over and hoping things will change.

 

[Giddyup5]

Gave you lots of likes. Cause you were right. But at this point you proved your point. Please give it a rest and enjoy the victory.

You guys ever see a pack of lions corner a baby animal and have fun batting it around for a while before they kill it? That's what you just saw your pack of wild Huskies do.

 

[storrsroars]

Watching them cut the nets reminded me to look up some data... the weight capacity of that model Wehrner ladder is 300 lbs. If NC State wins their game tomorrow, will they allow DJ Burns Jr to cut down some net?

 

[HailUConn]

I’m smiling like an idiot when coach underwood said “ we are going to keep going at him (Clingan)”


Is there a dumber coach? I mean, no time out im any stretch of 30-0 run? No half time adjustments at all?

 

[HuskyBoi]

Who recalled Underwood's first half interview where he said we will stick to our game plan and run at Clingan,

How'd that work out Brad Misunderstood?

 

[Khal Drogo]

Who was it saying Clingan needs another year or two?

Threepeat

 

[Leebo]

It was the region of death. The only problem for everyone else is we are the team of death.

It was their only chance

 

[uchusky32]

Wow, this team wins big when not shooting well. Top 8 all unselfish and will get ball to whoever has advantage. Clingan had advantage and we played through him. He was so dominant. Easy to see the post position, blocks and steals. But his screening at top of key is dominating. There was a play where Diarra followed him to the rim for a layup. Clingan blocked defenders from getting close to Diarra. The pass to Cam for a layup. Wow.

Moronic strategy … maybe if Clingan had picked up some fouls, but he was wiping the floor with their entire team every time they went at him.

Illinois should fine him for being a dum ash.

 

[blkknight1]

The defense during the run was contagious everyone started feeding off Cling Kong. Cling gets a few blocks then Samson had a block so did cam, Cling got a steal then Cam gets a steal.

 

[Cheddie]

That was the most dominating game by a big man I think I’ve ever seen.

It was a great performance. My standard is still Bill Walton, who scored 44 on 21 for 22 shooting (when dunks were banned because of Lew Alcindor's previous dominance at UCLA).

What parent actually films their kid shooting himself in the peen? And then keeps filming?

I ask because we need more of those parents!

 

[CTFIRERETIRED]

Well, so much for complaining about the NCAA committee giving us a "Bad Draw". 2 games in NYC, 2 games in Boston. In 64 years of following College basketball in general, and UCONN in particular I've never seen a 2nd half like tonight's game. In some ways it reminded me of the way the UCLA Bruins swarmed on their opponents, in the early 60's. One moment you're only up 5, and.....BANG....ZOOM, you're up 25. They are now 2/3rds of the way to back to back.

 

[uconn_jack]

I don't know what our A, B, and C games are anymore.

Some of the comments I heard from him tonight and repeated by journalists are crazy. If I was an Illinois fan I'd be asking if he's seeing what everyone else with a pulse is seeing

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Do not ask why.

I thought I asked how.

 

[Bomber36]

My door flag mojo worked!

 

[ToolzieFan]

Here it is, folks. Started and finished by Diarra. Plenty of transition buckets against a team who said they wanted to run and put up 100 on us. Beautiful stretch of basketball. As good as I’ve ever seen.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Has there ever been a 30-0 run in either a E8 or FF game?

This doesn't happen when a power school plays Merrimack or Lowell.
