Illini Basketball

[Chainmeister]

Salukis looked pretty good today.  OK St. will be a pretty tough test. One nice thing about sitting home recovering is I am seeing boatloads of b-ball.  

[Dan Michler]

yeah i see the salukis did have a nice win today for u spuds.  i've got SIU going to the sweet 16.

[CEValkyrie]

I want to say thanks to Bill Self for leaving Illinois & heading to Kansas. Great decision Bill!!

[Dan Michler]

sweet 16 baby!  up next is 12 seed UW milwaukee!  yesss!  after that will be the salukis    

[SERG]

I have Illinois winning it all...but I wouldn't count UWM a cake walk just yet. They're doing something right taking down #4 and #5. I don't know about you guys in Illinois, but I haven't seen any Illini basketball yet on TV during the tourny. Yes, I know I'm in Wisconsin. Have they shown them?

[Dan Michler]

yeah both games were shown here.

hahaha wake forest is sooooo goooooood

[airspuds]

lets hope the salukis can win today
all those upsets the last two days
i cant see any team not being ready to
play hard  - look for brooks and hairston (i think)
to step up  

go dawgs

proud 7 year graduette of SIU-C

yes the illini were on CBS  both thursday night and sat afternoon
in chicago

[Chainmeister]

I didn't see the second half but thought the Salukis fought hard and should hold their heads high.  Nice run Spuds.  Now lets see how far Weber's motion machine goes.

[airspuds]

up by 7 at half

then dud but still played hard
big men down low  killed them

hey they covered at least  tough draw i thought oak st at oak city
i would have rather seem them lose to the illini at INDy

but alas
another wait til next year

go illini  !!!

[Dan Michler]

Hell yeah baby!  3   Big 10 teams remain.   1 ACC team barely remains after UNC beats Villanova by 1.  Could be 3 Big 10 teams in the Final 4.  I'll stick with UNC, Kentucky, Illinois though.  Might as well go with West Virginia too.   Illinois vs. Arizona is gonna be a barnburner though.  Arizona is hot.

how sweet it is how sweet it is

illinois v michigna st championship!

[danny boy]

that was an unbelievable comeback last night by the illini!!!

refuse to lose baby!  down by 14 with less than 5 min.   down by 7 with 1:21 and Arizona's ball.  it was the 3 guards that took us here who made it happen too. SWEET!
