Great defense and guy all bunched up* - Mrap24 April 7, 2025, 22:13:03 Can’t believe they didn’t drive with how much pressure they were getting on the 3 pt line* - DocWalk20 April 7, 2025, 22:13:01 that was both awful and incredibly smart by sharp. most guys would have just touched it - snipes824 April 7, 2025, 22:12:52 While true, ironically considering the time left, he probably would have been better to just grab it - John Coctostan April 7, 2025, 22:14:58 yeah true, but in the moment that was actually impressive awareness - snipes824 April 7, 2025, 22:16:39 Yep i agree.

Would have been a turnover if he did. Smart play by Sharp not to grab it actually* - DocWalk20 April 7, 2025, 22:13:36 Smart play would have been to grab it and get the turnover to stop the clock - Orangeillini April 7, 2025, 22:15:39 In retrospect maybe. But that’s too many levels to think through in the moment though.* - DocWalk20 April 7, 2025, 22:26:59 I don’t think so. But could he have just tapped passed it to somebody?* - ATL April 7, 2025, 22:13:02 I had Florida but wanted them to at least get a shot off. Oh well, fits the game.* - Toonces April 7, 2025, 22:12:24 Damn…that was wild* - ilinni11 April 7, 2025, 22:11:24 Haah * - jdl April 7, 2025, 22:11:14 Wow, what defense on that possession.* - OB25 April 7, 2025, 22:11:08 Holy crap* - Stu April 7, 2025, 22:11:00 Well that’s one way to end it* - PapaDels April 7, 2025, 22:10:58 Florida was 24-12 with a second-year coach last year - illini April 7, 2025, 22:10:57 So every coach that doesn’t win the title is terrible by comparison? Ok.* - Herman Blume April 7, 2025, 22:28:59 this same guy was incredibly average at san francisco before florida - snipes824 April 7, 2025, 22:13:57 Plate development matters a ton - illini April 7, 2025, 22:29:24 In a world where a UConn super team existed you’re technically right that we weren’t close. - OB25 April 7, 2025, 23:13:25 I agree mostly. But it’s not like this is a squad of guys for FL that was anywhere close to - John Coctostan April 7, 2025, 22:20:46 coaching always has something to do with it - snipes824 April 7, 2025, 22:30:04 I’m struggling to find the equivalence here* - OB25 April 7, 2025, 22:12:52 lol stfu* - Ron McDon April 7, 2025, 22:11:54 Re: lol stfu* - illinijohn April 7, 2025, 22:13:21 Meh* - cpsteine April 7, 2025, 22:11:38 What a perfect ending to that game* - John Coctostan April 7, 2025, 22:10:56 Wow* - Mrap24 April 7, 2025, 22:10:55 Hard to kill* - ATL April 7, 2025, 22:10:19 Aberdeen dragged his foot once he got possession - IlliniSax05 April 7, 2025, 22:08:19 Bring out the 7’9” kid.

I actually think it’s been a really fun game to watch* - OB25 April 7, 2025, 22:05:28 I guess i just don’t see bb the same way. I appreciate the defensive skill but this has been an ugly - John Coctostan April 7, 2025, 22:08:21 There have been a lot of ugly Houston or Tennessee games that I found unwatchable. - OB25 April 7, 2025, 22:17:08 Yeah I don’t get that at all but to each their own* - illini21 April 7, 2025, 22:09:07 My god cryer what an awful play. * - illini April 7, 2025, 22:02:41 This review should take 5 seconds* - Mrap24 April 7, 2025, 22:00:32 First to 60 wins?* - DocWalk20 April 7, 2025, 21:43:51 Ref show* - Mrap24 April 7, 2025, 21:43:37 Eh, it was a foul.
