UConn vs Illinois (Final Four)

[Mr. French]

Just spitballin here but maybe that’s why we don’t question someone’s toughness when we don’t know what’s actually happening

* gasp * who EVER would have made such proclamations and definitive statements based on very little?

 

[BFieldHusky]

Has Illinois been playing more zone in the tournament?

Pretty good footage with Mullin's dad.

Hoping for a lot of this - absolutely beautiful stuff from Tarris. A well passing 5 is gold.

Not sure if this has been brought up, but everyone’s locked in on containing Wagler and how much he’s improved, Boswell is a concern, but we already saw them earlier and handled business. Wagler struggled, and Reed didn’t have it either, but Reed now is night and day. His passing, focus, and Ross and Mullins have taken jumps too.
Illinois will have to worry about how much we’ve improved as well.
Great clip on Tarris. He definitely did not do this in the beginning of the year.

As soon as Braylon hit the shot Sunday, my first thought was to get Bob Heussler on the phone to talk about the comparisons between Sunday and Tate George. I did that today:

Two iconic shots for one iconic program: Bob Heussler relives Tate George and shares perspective on Braylon Mullins

Great episode.

I think we can game plan and make things harder on Wagler than they can for both Karaban and Reed.

Everyone always “more talented” than UConn until it’s time to be more talented.

I like this matchup - we have answers for Wagler (Silas/Ross), they really don't for Tarris. What ultimately determines winner is who is hitting threes.

Conferences won't mean a thing to non UConn fans. Nobody outside of CT views us as the little engine that could. We're the biggest name in college basketball and the winningest program. Fans won't be thinking let's root for the little guy UConn.

From what I'm seeing? BB fans around here (Maryland) are tired of UConn. "The new Duke." Hell, I had to listen to a guy say how it was easy to root for Duke over Connecticut cuz Coach K was gone.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

How much does this burn Purdue fans? You have two B10 teams in Indy, meanwhile you were the preseason 1.

Myron Medcalf of ESPN ranks the teams in the Final Four. I was hoping he ranked the Huskies 4th. Just for the bulletin board material.

I'm seeing a lot of people taking Illinois, and I love it.
