The Hurley/UCONN aura looms large. The current season metrics are a different story. - DocWalk20 March 30, 2026, 13:21:30 I feel like there is going to be absolutely no one picking Illinois to win this game. - OB25 March 30, 2026, 11:01:07 They should check this out - jdl March 30, 2026, 13:06:58 isn't Illinois favored this morning by vegas (-1.5)* - Tooldresser March 30, 2026, 11:38:54 That’s what I’m saying. We are favored based on analytics but no one actually thinks we’re favored* - OB25 March 30, 2026, 11:54:44 If the spread is -1.5 there are certainly a lot of people who think we’re favored - meanjeans March 30, 2026, 12:01:49 Rothstein and someone else in the first vid i watched have them winning it all. * - assassin March 30, 2026, 11:31:49 The UConn/Hurley factor - illini March 30, 2026, 11:22:29 In theory that three from Mullins going in increased our chances of getting to the NC game by 1.5x - meanjeans March 30, 2026, 11:20:20 I don't gamble but nonetheless, the betting line makes no sense to me. - illinilosch March 30, 2026, 11:17:36 Well, Illinois is the only Final Four team with a negative luck rating on Kenpom.

The only difference is that our consensus all american, all big ten, FOY, lottery pick - ATL March 30, 2026, 9:53:38 Well he had more points (3) than Tarris Reed Jr (2) in nearly as many minutes (15 vs 14) so I think - meanjeans March 30, 2026, 11:15:48 It was also Mullins first game of the season - jdl March 30, 2026, 13:03:24 Reed is my biggest concern. He can get a ton of points on IL & get our bigs into foul trouble. - Kajagoogoo March 30, 2026, 11:22:42 As an Illinois fan I will never plan on getting that “one player we need to get in foul trouble” - meanjeans March 30, 2026, 11:33:21 Updated Torvik, we're 61.5% likely to beat UConn and 24.7% to win the title* - Orangeillini March 29, 2026, 18:44:11 I wish they sold FF gear in Chicago area* - OWWDig March 29, 2026, 18:27:08 You just don't know which street corner/expressway exit ramp to look for. * - osklister March 30, 2026, 9:50:46 true* - OWWDig March 30, 2026, 12:03:28 union is shipping in two days* - bucktownillini March 29, 2026, 19:27:59 Why did Folgueiras play only 9 minutes yesterday?* - gullit March 29, 2026, 17:14:04 he was -11. whiffed on a block out got benched* - Poldark March 29, 2026, 17:22:26 Also a couple of really bad turnovers.
