QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 11:22 PM) Yeah, he needs that Sports Management degree instead of millions of dollars guaranteed with an NBA contract Half the team has that major.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 11:09 PM) Because he has no scoring ability and cannot defend a lick? Huh? Pippen was an amazing defender and good scorer.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 09:28 PM) I hate him... a lot. Always have and always will. He is so overated. Two of brown, augustine, head will have better careers. Sorry, but this one is classic.

Other teams will get stronger an Ill doesn't have anybody coming in. With a wife and kids, I'm gone.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 11:05 PM) I just noticed something that I didn't catch the whole game........ If Illinois was the #1 overall seed, why weren't they wearing white jerseys tonight???? I believe they get first choice?

A Final Four is an excellent accomplishment. I'd go as far as saying that previous teams with frankie and cook were more talented, but these guys had an amazing run to the Final Four.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 10:54 PM) so if the sox lost the world series you wouldn't be angry? jesus. people need to shut up I'd be pissed and sad. Just a general comment about how much we love our sports teams, not a diss against anybody.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 10:52 PM) dude your cool, and I would root for depaul if they went all the way. but.... they won't. You're cool too. Good luck with those recruiting classes. Looks like neither team has gone all the way...

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 10:52 PM) The players looked more shocked than anything after the game. And the players usually don't get as mad because they had control over what happened, the fans don't. We just sit there in agony as the game goes down the tubes. And the alcohol.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 10:50 PM) They usually cry... hell after some of the earlier rounds you see players cry. I think that is taking it pretty damn hard. I wouldn't call crying classless.

QUOTE(El Piervizdyeguchansodnik @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 10:50 PM) Because you're a bunch of babies? Christ, Buerhle pitches a gem, the White Sox beat the 2005 AL Central Champ Powerhouse Cleveland Indians and everyone dies. The better teams won today.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 10:47 PM) Yeah but some people are just as much Illini fans as they are Sox fans if not more. If the Sox had their best season ever but couldn't win a ring I would be devastated and pissed off. Maybe later some people will look back and calm down, but those first few minutes really suck after a big loss. I'm suprised I'm not too angry that I got screwed out of a possible $300 win in my pool. I find it funny how fans take it worse than the actual players. I sure didn't see illini players screaming obscenitites.

QUOTE(Nokona @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 10:38 PM) Did Depaul play good in the NIT? I'm not really sure because they're really popular and all... Classy. I'm glad the better team won tonight.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 10:34 PM) Bull s***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sore loser? Drink it off...

oden=NBA

Should've put villanueva on may.

Great season, Illini fans. I mean, we lost to Larry Bird in the Final Four, but, hey, felton and may looked good.

felton

Why do they keep interrupting the commercials with the game?

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 10:07 PM) Ingram has been huge tonight. And Dee Brown with 2 shots to tie!! ingram will be a better NBA player than deron

marvin williams isn't ready for the NBA.

Deron sucks! Wow...

Uncharacteristic mistakes. If both teams make similar mistakes and it comes down to talent, it'll be tough for Ill. UNC needs to keep going to May. Nice game by Felton. Ill. has a whole half to wake up, play smart, and get hot from behind the arc too.

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 06:53 PM) not really.. its gonna take more than just a "good" game from May to beat us Nope, that should be enough. The guard play is matching up well.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 07:49 PM) You have to remember though that Iggy's numbers are cramped by being on a team with a guy that takes up such a high percentage of a teams shots. Mosts rookies don't have Allen Iverson to play with. Iguadala is earning the right to take more shots. Keep in mind that there is NO other scoring option in Philly, and Iverson is putting up great assists numbers. By now, he could have seized the opportunity and done something on offense to compliment Iverson. It just doesn't look like he can.
