Loyola?

I think they'll give Oklahoma St fits, Houston would be a matchup of the 2 best defenses in college basketball.

So who's the favorite to come out of this region if Illinois is done? I had a feeling a Big 10 region would be chaos but figured it would be Michigan's region not this one.

I'm rooting for Syracuse!

I don't see a realistic path for Illinois to pull this out. Too late for "status-quo" game plan, that's little more than trading baskets at this point

I’ve been saying to my TV that Loyola would be happy to trade baskets with Illinois for the last 5 game minutes - and that’s largely what’s happened.

 

[jctisu]

What a BS call. Play on there.

 

[jsb]

You know what’s odd? I haven’t seen Illinois make any serious adjustments all game.

Really have enjoyed watching Loyola in this game. Just a fun defensive team and sound offensive team to watch.

 

[Urbandale2013]

What was that charge call?

Awwwwww, are you serious!?

It was a charge call.

This Krutwig kid for Loyola really is something..... the entire offense goes through him basically. Smart basketball IQ.... everything our team completely lacked this year. Loyola is really fun to watch, even if they are low scoring.

 

[ISUTex]

What a BS call. Play on there.

Bad calls like that is what will get Illinois back in this.

 

[jctisu]

God I love Cameron Krutwig. Fundamentals to a very high level!

 

[jdoggivjc]

#25 has gone beast mode this last minute

 

[cyclones500]

That FT-rebound probably does it.

 

[clonedude]

Krutwig!!!!! What a beast of a player!
