Illini win, first 10th seed in history of big 10 tourney to advance to semi's.

 

Congrats Illini, to bad you need to win the tournament to get to the dance because I think they might have a shot against Indiana or Minnesota, but itd be hard to then also beat MSU or Wisconsin.

That had to be the worst coached game I have ever f***ing watched. Ok maybe I'm exaggerating a bit.

 

 

Honestly, 25 f***ing seconds left in the second half, Purdue is up 3, do they foul? No, of course not lets let Mccamey shoot the f***ing 3.

 

 

Genius, nice job Purdue, really I would love to know why they didn't foul and give them at the most 2 points putting Purdue up one with maybe 20 seconds left.

 

Pisses me off.

 

For the love of god I hope Indiana wins tonight and kills Illini tomorrow, you all just don't understand how much I despise Illinois.

i can not see them winning this thing. four games in four days and finishing off with teams who are appreciably more talented than you is something i don't think this group can pull off.

 

but, these are huge games for the future. two freshmen (mccamey and davis) really stepped up today. hell, i thought jeff jordan played some significant and important minutes.

Despite my one complaint, the fact that the E'Twaun Moore debacle by this coaching staff will haunt the Illini for another 3 years, what an outstanding victory. It's nice to see Pruitt and Randle going out on a good note, and although we knew McCamey is a stud, it's nice to see some guys like Davis and Brock and Jordan stepping up.

 

Illinois still isn't winning this tournament, as they are only halfway there and would still have to beat two more vastly superior teams to make it 4 wins in 4 days, but this is nice to build for the offseason and next year. It just amazes me that a team can go 8-20 at the line, have 22 turnovers, let their opponent hit 11 3's, and still win. Heck of a game though, one of the few legit good games I've seen in league play all year.

If by kick ass you mean Pruitt misses 10 straight free throws and Illinois loses in OT (check that...double overtime) then maybe. I would love another shot and Indiana right now the way they're playing. I don't see them making it past the first weekend in the tournament.

Sweet! IU gets to kick Illinois ass for the 3rd time this season.

I'd hardly call any of IU's win kick ass. Illinois played 'em tough both games. I think Illinois is gonna win, if IU even makes it past Minny. Ill has got momentum, they know they can play with IU and IU has been struggling recently and still have the scandal on their minds.

You did watch the games right? IU could have easily lost both of them. IU is going to win tomorrow, but "kick ass"? And that's beside the fact that your team is doing a great job falling apart lately and doing things like blowing a Big 10 title, so trash talk from you guys is a bit silly at the moment.

Even if IU beats Minnesota (It's a toughie), I might give Illinois the edge in the semi, it would at least be 50-50. We've been playing awful recently, and we need to win the BTT to have some good momentum.

Illini need to win the tourney to have any momentum.

 

 

 

 

So any early line on the odds Brian Randle fouls out tomorrow? :P
