Higher seed, second half lead, foul trouble, missed free throws, turnovers, and we lose.
Austin Peay '87, Villanova '88, Dayton '90, Tulsa '94, Georgetown '95, Chattanooga '97, Washington '06, Va Tech '07, Miami '13.
We always lose this team. Not tonight. This team is special. Bring on UConn.

It’s time, y’all.
For the first time since March 24, 2005 - 19 years and 4 days - when Illinois defeated Satan and his UW-Milwaukee squad in the middle of a march to the National Championship game, Illinois will play in the Sweet 16.
A little more than 14 hours until tip time. Let’s get this one. This team is too fun to stop watching.
