Gilbert's ties it with all the momentum. Very unfortunate but I love this team. Now we sit back and see who leaves and the coaches prepare for next year.The Gilbert and King missed bunnies are going to sting for a long time.

Really!?!? No ****. But we’ve been to 4 Sweet 16s in the past decade and can’t get over the hump.ISU has been in the Elight 8 before.
Kinda. Feels a little more like we just didn't take some opportunities that were right in front of us, but they definitely made some shots when we had them on the ropes. Definitely showed some toughness in crunch time.Give Illinois some credit. They earned that W.
Some were. Ward didn't block out on a free throw, King doesn't block out period. Big Rob can't catch the ball.A good amount of their offensive rebounds were just flat out unlucky.
Maybe you didn’t notice the 8 or so minute stretch where ISU was really selective on the doubles and even played zone.
And if anything, sending Illinois to the FT did us a huge favor. They were fricking horrid from the line.Didn’t have a real problem with the refs tonight. Consistently poor for both sides is about all we can ask for in this era of CBB
I will go to my grave believing that if we simply take the lead once in one of the 2nd half runs we would have pulled away.
That missed layup by Gilbert that would have tied it was HUGEThe Illini hit some big (tough) shots (or made the extra pass) and the 'Clones definitely made them uncomfortable throughout. Just couldn't capitalize when there was an opportunity to swing momentum with a lead change.
What I appreciated most is we didn’t see a Cyclone player complain about a single call.You guys had a hell of a team. I ended up watching a handful of your games to familiarize myself with your team. Very likable and talented group of guys. Good game.
We struggled to rebound against Illinois. UConn would have murdered us on the boards.
Saturday… go Battlehawks KaKaw!!!Well UFL kicks off on Sunday I think.
