UConn vs Illinois (Final Four)

This is the longest week ever

It’s great. It’s a week where you don’t have to play and you’re the focus of the college basketball world.

Absolutely. Its a week that extends the season, and only four teams get to be in on the party.

Expecting a tight game vs Illini? UConn 10-1 this year with games decided by 5 points or less. Illini are 1-6 this season.

No lead against us will feel safe

What is AK's tally over 18 games? He's got to be around 200, no?

Just re watched the first game vs Illinois. They have nothing for us. If we are competent from 3 we beat them by double digits. Rooting hard for Zona. I think the only team that dominates us is Michigan.

Illinois is a completely different team from when we played them in November. Wagler was a bit piece then. UConn is also a totally different team than that game in November. Reed and Mullins didn't play that much and both had 2 points. I'm not sure how much you can get out of that game back in November.

I forget how close Dusty was to getting blow out by us in the final. With the ball up 1 with 17 seconds to go. They were also in the 8-9 game in 2024 against NW, but lost.

I wonder if any other team has erased and given up a 19 point lead in the NCAA.
