WE ARE INEVITABLE.

ONE MORE FOR 7#

doomed

Jay Bilas was on Friday’s PTI and picked UConn over Illinois. He also said that Dan is a character coach who is also a character. On to Monday.

That photo may need to be taken in landscape if we're fortunate to win again Monday!

The look on the face of that Illinois fan in the left of that photo sums up everything (not to be too salty to Illinois, who played a very good game).

Khalid, Rip, Ray, Ben, Emeka, Charlie - who else?

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

I wonder how many times Jamal Washburn has scratched his head in the last half hour?

 

[Umami Zen]

Always like our chances in close games vs Underwoodovic teams.

 

[HuskyNan]

 

[AreBee1969]

Never lose again.

My wife made a Husky Easter Egg with our grandson. I knew right then we had that game. You're welcome.

If you believe it helps the mojo, it helps the mojo
It's only stupid if it doesn't work.

Not in the photo, but I saw Shabazz and I think Kemba during the telecast when they panned to the UConn section.

 

[upstater]

Pre-game broadcast was pretty shocking as it focused almost exclusively on the Zona-Mich game, but when they did talk about UConn-Illinois, the focus was 75% on Illinois.

UConn is not getting very much respect at all.

Have another suck of that Chuck!

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Charles Barkely can suck it now

No.

We need him.on Monday to finish the job.

Torr Watts sighting with Boat.

I can say this now that it’s over but when Solo tried that layup with 2 and change and a full shot clock I wanted to burn my house down.

Great win. Would love to see Arizona again.

 

[FearThePups]

outside of that brief stretch with the starters out in the 2nd half, comfortable game as predicted.

silas o rebound then braylon dagger sealed it. these two have been unbelievable

Don’t forget Alex ripping the ball out of Wagler’s hands.

 

[NewBlood]

Jealous and petty. Beating UCLA. MSU. Duke and Illinois was the easy path? I guess they have to come up with an asinine excuse.

3 Big Ten teams, gladly take down number 4 Monday

 

[nomar]

I can't believe we're back in the championship game.

 

[Umami Zen]

This was the worst officiated game of the tournament (in both directions). The refs called so much ticky tack stuff and let obvious fouls go. Ten fouls in the first five minutes of the second half.

Could not believe the fouls they called on Silas

 

[DisabledVet]

17-1 in March, the last four years, one more to go.

13-1 Final four all-time.

This team guts it out.

(What's with the circles on everyone's arms? Maybe I missed it.

Cupping

OSOC 18 out of 19
I’m on the C side of the aisle

 

[caw]

Keep picking against us… this is the mojo!

There is zero chance he doesn't pick Michigan or Zona.

 

[ec33]

I beg to differ, there is going to be a ton of people looking to dump their tickets:

 

[uconn1999]

Silas Ross and AK do SO MANY things that help us win in close games.

Like 1-8 shooting

 

[Dibbie]

Love these photos

Why was the guy from Missouri there?

 

[specialisthusky]

This is special. FINISH!

 

[Palatine]

Maybe we are not that bad. I know we have no chance on Monday but we looked competent in stretches against Illinois.

Imagine being an Illinois student and having had to run into us like this the best 2 years your program has ever had
