WHarris1 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Hey look, Illinois fans whining about their seeding. Just like last year when ND bounced them. They won the league title in a conference that blew this year, big whoop, they didn't even show up to play in the conference championship game. There's six teams in the ACC that are better than them, I don't see why you people think getting a five seed is somehow getting jobbed. If anything, they should be lower considering Wisconsin just kicked their ass and they're a 6. Ok, so they makes the Illni a 5 seed. Now justify Florida getting in an easier bracket than the Illini.

Now justify Florida getting in an easier bracket than the Illini. 3rd place in the regular season, and a finalist in the conference tournament, in a conference that was much better than the Big 10.

Spiff Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Yeah right St Joes conf is such a killer. Hey, genius, which conference had more bids? Big 10 or A-10? Alright, thanks for playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both competed til the buzzer on the road against NC and Maryland. Although they both lost those games, they both definitly have teams that could beat any team in the ACC. No way Wiscy deserves a 6 seed, but playing in Milwaukee is a plus at least. BTW---> Bruce Weber is on the Score right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elcaballo45 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Hey, genius, which conference had more bids? Big 10 or A-10? Alright, thanks for playing. Your really going to rub this in that the Big 10 is having a down year. We cant have one bad year without everyone knocking us down as fast as they can? The ACC was down 3 years ago I believe, and they bounced back quite nicely. The Big 10 will do the same, and i expect 5-6 teams next year for sure.

Elcaballo45 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Let us know what he says. He's saying that no game is gonna be easy, upsets are everywhere, and both Cincy and Illini should be worried about E. Tenn St and Murray St before matching them up against each other. I missed the first part of the interview because i was typing so much on various college message boards. I cant listen too good while im typing..

Wisconsin doesn't have any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was saying St Joe's conference schedule was weak, and I responded with the fact that their conference got more bids than Illinois's did.

And Villanova just beat Providence, who beat, you guessed it, Illinois. Way to know your s***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Illinois is a bit low, but a 4 and a 5 are hardly different. Illinois doesn't have the right to complain about the tough region because they aren't getting past the sweet 16 anyway. They wouldn't get out of the sweet 16 in any of the regions. To be honest Illinois should be happy they drew Cincy as a 4 seed instead of Wake or Kansas because they should beat Cincy, it would be tougher for the other 2. And about Florida's "easy" draw, Manhattan can knock them out in the 1st round, don't look past that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elcaballo45 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Illinois fans are the biggest whinners I have ever heard. You know, theres a reason why we are such whiners. Our school does nothing every single year once the tourney begins! We have never beat a higher seed ever in the history of Illinois basketball, and of course, that means we've never won a national championship. We whine because we have reasons to whine, and until something monumental happens, ill continue to whine! Hail the Chief! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elcaballo45 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Anyone know what time Illinois will play on Friday? Looks like we got the 11:20 time slot, which sucks, because just last Friday I had to leave early in my class for an 11 o clock game, and now again, I will have to leave early!

YASNY Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I know it's been mentioned a couple of times, but you Illini fans better not take Murray St for granted. They are capable of beating Illinois. The Illini should win this game, but unless Murray leaves it's A game at home, it won't be a walk in the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
