Anyone else feel sick watching this UConn/Illinois game?

Not really, we'd have no answer for that big center

Yeah UConn was going to boat race whoever won that game, just easily the most complete team this year.

We didn't last year for sure.

It's a tough one.

 

[nrg4isu]

Well, I've seen all I need to see of this game.

 

[iState1980]

Illinois getting boated

 

[alarson]

UConn on pace to win 90-0

Anyone else feel sick watching this UConn/Illinois game?

No, it saved us from getting embarrassed on National TV. That's why so many of us were upset Selection Sunday.

I was sick watching Houston play good D last night, not so much against UConn because just so hard to beat them.

Hopefully jt rock can put 20 lbs of muscle on in the next year

Houston had Shead for alot longer last night than we had Niang against UNC that year.

Wasn't UConn a 7 that year and we were a 3? Considering we only lost by 5 I'd say it's very likely we handle a 7 seed if one of the best players in the country played that night.

So...that's OK to use that as an excuse then?

 

[rosshm16]

Allowing way more contact so far than we got away with.

 

[alarson]

Well yeah. We got exactly what we worried about from officials Thursday. Not that that's the whole (or even largest) reason we lost

 

[Inthesystem]

I guess Illinois can turn the defense on and off.

 

[iState1980]

that UConn player, diarrhea has been streaky all tournament long.

 

[NoCreativity]

Games are starting, time to move on from that debate and focus on the teams left.

Just my opinion, but the Big 12 disappointed this year in the tourney.

 

[AllInForISU]

This UConn team would have wiped the floor with ISU. Don’t get me wrong, I wish they were playing to at least have a chance, but nothing about this game so far makes me think it would have been even close.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Clingan is huge

 

[exCYtable]

How many times is Illinois gonna take it inside before they figure out it ain't working
