Cheat Jr, they let UofI go on something like a 10-0 run in the last two minutes.  They choked hard.

 

Cheat junior? Thank you for the compliment. Either way they played a hell of a game.

If the illini lost this game would you consider it a choke job?

Well that depends. If they were to let Wisconsin go on a double-digit unanswered scoring spree in the last minutes of the game and miss more than half of their free throws, coughUWcough, then I'd consider labeling it as such.

the talk radio-talking heads effect of extreme exaggeration has led to nearly every loss being determined a choke. It's like hearing someone got "beaned in the foot". It's out of control

What do you call performing terribly in the last stretches of a game?

If illinois did not have the lead in this game and lost you would be hearing people refering to this game as a choke and that the illini are overated.

That's pure speculation.  You wouldn't hear choke unless they had a comfy lead and blew it due to a meltdown not yet seen this year from UofI.  You'd probably only hear overrated from some liquored up UW students.

 

I know for damn sure espn would be saying it and as much as they could.

Was anyone else getting pissed off when Dick Vitale kept saying "They should all give these Wisconsin kids a standing ovation?"

 

Umm, what about the team that snapped it Dickie?  :huh:

 

and also didnt he say on a even territory he likes UNC as the best team...The same UNC that Wake beat .and thats the same Wake that Illini owned

UNC is a very good basketball team. He didn't say they were the best team but that is the team he thinks will win the NCAA championship.
