***Final Four Thread***

[Bichoto]

I’m pretty sure none of the 4 coaches in the final 4 use curse words.

 

[Drogon]

3 turnovers in 4 positions and Illinois didn't do jack ****. Game about to get ugly?

 

[DraftCat]

Not sure the orange team can get enough stops to make this a game down the stretch.

 

[ala_kat2]

How tge heck did IL get here? They are awful on offense.

 

[RoyKent]

I’d rather have had Duke win

 

[bbnkat02]

UConn dude about ripped his arm off. No foul.

Eff UConn. I'm real close to making them Public Enemy No 1 on the list

 

[Bugs092056]

Hurley needs a whuppin Monday night, hopefully I am premature with this message

 

[AllBall]

I repeat....Uconn didn't have a turnover the last 10 minutes against Duke. They went into the second half of this game until 13:20 before recording a TO. My lord that's efficient!!!

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

its an open shot every possession for uconn

 

[dckala2_]

Imagine watching Kentucky play a final four game with a 10 point lead all game. wtf would that be like.

 

[bbnkat02]

I still hate Duke for more reasons outside of basketball (read up on the Blackpatch Wars) but yep. With the Rat King gone, they aren't nearly as awful. Schyer doesn't seem to be nearly as big of an ***.

 

[Drogon]

Outside the box thinking. Illinois could think about fouling Malachi Smith while their fouls only give UConn a 1+1

 

[DraftCat]

Double bonus here on out...

 

[PhattyJ]

2 plays showed the deal with the devil UConn has

point blank 2 footer rolls all over the rim and falls off after 3 seconds - then a 3 pointer that had no business going in bounces straight up and falls thru the net.

It’s unreal.

 

[bbnkat02]

If they get Number 7, I will hate to say I told you so......but.....

 

[Drogon]

Don't foul Demary there you dope. Stupid foul. Stewart, fine. Demary, not fine.

 

[Drogon]

Lucky that worked out

 

[Rainmaker]

Hurley making the classic Cal mistake the past few positions. Slowed his offense down and playing stall ball. Lead isn’t big enough to do that, I’m sure he will adjust but something I noticed.

 

[DraftCat]

6 point game under 7

 

[Drogon]

Hurley outthought himself leaving his starters on the bench for so long.

 

[Rainmaker]

How tge heck did IL get here? They are awful on offense.

They have the number 1 offense in the nation. One game sample size isn’t enough so may want to reevaluate that take.

 

[bbnkat02]

6 point game under 7

Come on Illinois. You have nothing to lose. Do it.

 

[CrimsonCats_rivals]

Amazing how many shots Illinois has had get every part of the rim and come back off compared to multiple times UConn got weird bounces to fall in over the course of a single game.

 

[Catlogic1552]

Illinois leaving all their shots hanging on the rim.

 

[JASUN74]

This is the only acceptable answer.

Zona hasn't won one since 97 (being the only team to ever beat THREE one seeds in a single run- including us)
UM only has one and that was in freaking 1989
And Illinois has never won one.

I'm rooting for the Illini first, UM second and Zona third.

Right there with you. UConn looks pretty good right now with under 8 to go but maybe Illinois can get hot. Here’s hoping.

 

[mash_24]

I just don’t think UCONN is that good at all. If Hurley wins it all with this team he is absolutely doing a masterful job.

 

[Titpwhahi2014]

Feel like UConn is giving Illinois every chance in the world to steal it…but the Fighting Illini are missing point blank shots.

 

[Drogon]

Illinois is tied for 5th in kill shots per game. 1.06 per game.

 

[mash_24]

Illinois should let Stojakovic work. He seems to be the only one not scared of the moment.

 

[DraftCat]

UConn bailing them out.... Illinois can't even make a point blank layup. Thankfully they got it back.

4 point game!!! Have a feeling a 3 is coming though for the huskies

 

[Drogon]

Jersey grab by UConn, no call

 

[mrjuk lostinspace]

Down and dirty now

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

F****** elevated floors

 

[hotelblue.0]

bad timeout by illinois. trying to show up hurley because hurley’s to at 6 min was basically set play to set things straight and win. you wanted game pressure on uconn there. now it really may be over. gave uconn extra set plays.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Z with the bonehead play that leads to a runout

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Anyone but UCONN!

I can’t take them playing for another ship.

 

[DraftCat]

Bummer....

 

[Drogon]

Win %: CONN, 84.0

Lets see if it holds up. Does Illinois have one more run?

 

[RoyKent]

big Z’s brother has money on UConn

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Bill Murray rooting for UConn. In 05 against Arizona, he was pulling for Illinois. Now he’s rooting against them, I’m confused
