UConn vs Illinois (Final Four)

I was in Detroit in 2009 with floor seats and I felt like I needed binoculars. It's a terrible watch unless you have amazing seats.

Had to be a painful game to watch. Even more terrible with all the MSU fans around.

I'm sure given the "well, actually..." nature of twitter someone is going to post a pic of the 2009 FF banner

This was my first thought (because it would’ve accidentally disrespected that team), but they don’t actually have a banner I think.

I think Hurley is saying he wants Mullins to play so well he’s able to declare.

This is the women's corner but IIRC there's the same one for the men's. I wouldn't consider this a banner though like we hang for the championships

I didn't think this needed to be said, but that is not a real text. It's a parody account
 
We have to be the only program in college basketball that seems to not celebrate their Final Four team too much.

We’re spoiled.

I'm going because it's close to where I live in Chicago and it's a chance to hang out for 4 days with some of my oldest friends, it also makes their journey easier because I can pick them up in Chicago and drive them down. I'll do the same next year in Detroit if UConn makes it.

I'm prepared to have a difficult viewing experience and just want to soak in the atmosphere of the long final 4 wknd. If it was flying across the country and spending many thousands of dollars while having difficulty seeing what is actually happening on the court I think I would feel differently. Basketball isn't meant to be played in giant football stadiums.

If Stewart is really close to !00% and Silas at 90% or so, that is MASSIVE. Perfect game for JS, and we need Silas to disrupt Wagler. Malachi feasted on this team last time, and with the way he is playing right now, I think he can be a factor here as well.

Came across an article from Fox News-Chicago about our Nov game which I found interesting. Our starting 5 (including Demary) leading up to FF- Played only 1 minute together as a unit in Nov. game. Reed played only 15 minutes due to foul trouble. Different teams now? Yes. IMO-Encouraging for the Good Guys.
 
Illinois fans think the two 7 footers may bother Tarris. I just think Tarris is way too quick and strong for them. Not to pick on Reibe, but he was not able to handle Zuby all year, even in the game in Hartford. Speed and strength will negate a 2 or 3 inch height advantage.

The supposed profile picture of Dan Hurley might have been a giveaway

the reporter set Mirkovic up with that tweet, the full comments towards Reed are very respectable, he even acknowledged that Reed had an injury in the first matchup
Expand ...
Good to know. I guess that's why we can't trust the media. But show Reed the tweet anyway! 😂

He's made positive contributions in the first half minutes he played in both the MSU and Duke games

clearly he missed the memo that he was supposed to say something super vague like "ohh...i dunno...not sure i can go, but maybeeee"

UCLA famously only hangs natty banners in Pauley as well.
 
Seriously not having this in broadcast (CBS) but on cable/streaming TBS TruTv and HBO Now is getting a little ridiculous.

I have not had cable for over 30 years and do not pay for streaming. This season I went to 5 games and was able to watch a few others.

Even the women are on ESPN.

Wanted to watch with my son but cannot take him to a bar so will be following in espn website. Argh!

It's a lot cheaper to just get a month of HBO Max than it is to go to a bar. (Just note you need at least Standard tier).

It had been floating around through word of mouth but confirmation here that Stewart had loose bone chips removed from his knee

Expand ...

Someone on here had said that and it made perfect sense with the timing of the recovery.
