Yeah it's a tough draw in terms of being a 3 seed.

We'd rather our 14 seed oppenent not be Drake or UNI but rather some other 14.

Seems like a similar dynamic going in this Loyola/IL game

Illinois not looking good out of the gate.

Ramblers are up the challenge. Illinois has their hands full.

 

[NoCreativity]

Illinois has a major problem on their hands.

 

[Cyched]

Illinois has enough firepower they can score gobs of points in a hurry, but right now playing into Loyola's gameplan.

Maybe we need a nun.

Remember when there were a lot of ISU fans who didn’t want Porter Moser as the next ISU coach?

Maybe we need a nun.

There's still time for you to take the vows, no? Sister Mary JSB, CF's own flying nun?

Yep, Loyola such a pain in the ass to play. Think Illini could be done for.

That "gameplan" of Loyola might include great defense....

“Too much like Fleck!”

I think he’s a good coach but I think he has his niche there at Loyola. I don’t think it would have translated to here.

Yeah I remember. The only way we shouldn't have wanted Moser is if his price was too high.

Let me guess--too boring and has a system?

They are playing good defense. But Illinois keeps trying to run the same plays and getting nowhere

Was Sister Jean part of Pollard's coaching search? If not, the process wasn't thorough!

Ya not sure how you turn up your nose at porter but are then hyped by tj
