14 of 16 through day one. best i've done in the history of ever.

If anything, I'm most pissed about the complete lack of energy and hustle the Illini showed tonight. I'm just glad they didn't play a really good team.

 

Me too, if they showed some hustle and took it to those clowns they would have kicked their ass.

 

And the last 7 or so minutes proves the above point.

Digger, et al, kick them while they're down in the next 4+ years you're not going to have that chance.

As frustrating as they've been in their Illini careers, Meacham, Frazier and Brock will be missed next year, at least early on.

feel bad for frazier

I haven't always been the biggest Meacham fan, but his loss could be huge unless there is a shooter coming in next year or Legion can step up. He was the only halfway consistent outside shooter on the team.

wait i lied im 13 for 16

Open pondering: the Illini have gone into full-court press 4 times to get back into games, and it worked for 3 of them (well, they got back into the games 3 times). Why not do that for the rest of the freaking game?!?

heck of a final game by trent.

Too tiring? Also, it's risky in terms of fouls.

Don't think I'll be able to watch much sports the rest of this week.

[sneakypower]

damn, down to 99.45% now

eb14play2: 14-2

Obama: 11-5

 

Oh yeah.

Part of me wishes we could fast forward to next season, I really think we're going to see a much better, more athletic Illini team.

And skip Cubs season? Blasphemy!

Well yeah, that and we'll have Brandon Paul. I just hope Tisdale can develop a sense of toughness in the offseason.

 

12-4 to end the first day. It seems like I always end the first day with that record. Clemson's loss hurt me the most as I had them going to the Elite Eight.

Yeah I thought of that, wouldn't miss what this season will bring for the world.

Does anyone really believe that Chester Frazier would have made a difference? I think he is almost as overrated as Dee Brown. Ok, maybe not, but overrated nonetheless.

yes, he would have made a difference. I don't know if it would have been enough, but he would have made a difference.

I think Frazier being there might have been enough, actually

14-2.

 

Lost on Butler and VCU. That's what I get for listening to the "experts" regarding upsets.

Butler wouldn't have really qualified as an upset. Never listen to the experts regarding anything.

Any other Chicago people have their Comcast cable go out tonight? I had to watch the second half of the Michigan game at a bar because mine went completely out. Great comeback by Illinois at the end there, but Western Kentucky was the better team.
