[Magnetic Curses]

meltdown imminent. this game is over.

[Derwood]

everyone on Wisconsin is JJ Reddick all of a sudden

[Magnetic Curses]

do you guys see? do you see?

[illiniguy]

Why is Jeff Jordan in for our best ft shooter? Why is Bill Cole in? Oh cause our coach is a clown.

Hughes is our Soriano. 0-3 with 3 K's, then game tieing hit.

 

Hughes was 0-11, then hit 4 3's. We'll still lose, but he has 14 points

You're in good shape. No way he hits both of these free throws.

you were saying?

[mul21]

Thank the lord. I thought they were gonna give it away. Hopefully in with maybe a 10 seed now, best case scenario.

[bukie]

Holy crap, they won.

meltodown averted. core returning to normal. have a nice day.

[Magnetic Curses]

wisconsin lost because, even though they're a better team, they decided that the best way to win a game against a lesser team is to chuck.

Ah, brings back such good memories. BTW, it's Redick.

I expected a lot more happiness around here after I saw the Illini had pulled the upset.

I think most of the Illinois fans are just now finally able to breathe again after those last 2 minutes.

Told you guys back in December we'd make the tourney. :D

They're not in yet, but this helps a lot.

I hope nobody jumped prematurely. Obviously not an Illinois fan, but I wouldn't mind seeing another Big Ten team make it to the tourney. This makes it close to a lock, no?

This makes 4 RPI top 25 wins on the year for Illinois, more than any other bubble team and more than several "safe" teams. Three of the wins were away from home. If they don't make it I'll be disappointed, because it would mean that 2 games in Vegas in November ruined the season.

And by this I mean I think they're in, but I'm still rooting really hard for UTEP, Utah State, MWC favorites, Cal, and the ACC/SEC favorites.

you gotta figure Iowa is in with their double-digit wins

[snoodmonger]

I can't see them being kept out at this point.

[snoodmonger]

Wow, I'm hearing two more transfers for Iowa State. Justin Hamilton and Dominique Buckley. Is McDermott sexually molesting these guys? How does he lose so many players?

[SpongeWorthy]

I have to admit that even though I'm a very mild Illini fan I was pulling for Wisconsin at the end.

 

And I have to add that that's pretty much all sulley's fault.
