To echo BigCat... this has to be AI, right?
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
Pretty sure no one else gets away with that. *
Posted by harb
|
Yeah that’s gotta be a T*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
It goes down at the Hut
Posted by chorizo
|
OK, going with not AI. CBS Sports video:
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
I sorta get the feeling refs aren't as bothered by his schtick as we'd expect
Posted by illini
|
And that's why there is a chair in the corner of their bedroom.*
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
Now THAT should have been called a T*
Posted by ATL
|
It would be a real shame if 3 brave men decided to do something about this on Saturday.
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
I feel like lost in this was a process error from UConn. Duke was in the 1-1.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I also think the prevailing Cayden Boozer take is not correct at all.
Posted by OB25
|
That, and UConn had the possession arrow
Posted by Blazer
|
They had a TO remaining, no? Either way that final play was fraught and I understand
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
But for Luther's hero block our comeback against Arizona could have ended the exact same way
Posted by meanjeans
|
He was in open space with room to dribble a few seconds away rather than stand*
Posted by Potomac
|
He could have dribbled backwards. Possibly gotten the ball to his brother whos defender left him*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
and doesn't it appear scheyer is motioning to chuck it down the court? what was the possession arrow
Posted by Ari Gold
|
I mean UConn's last possession before the turnover was also terrible*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
That game was definitely reminiscent of that old ad about the '69 Mets
Posted by ATL
|
The '69 Mets? That team was amazin' .

|
Apropos of the Raftery clip below, my algorithm the last few weeks is of course feeding me

|
“Miserable” is the right word. Just so sour and bitter all the time.
Posted by DT
|
Spot on. I dug up a blog post I wrote after the 2007 NC game
Posted by illinibone
|
I was ok with Bob Knight as analyst. No Al McGuire charm, but useful*
Posted by Potomac
|
The kid on Duke who failed to get his hand up on the Mullins shot IG handle is
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
hand down, man down*
Posted by Sammich
|
Some are calling him "third weekend" Brad freaking Underwood.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
RafCam
Posted by Blazer
|
Somewhere there's both the UConn and Dook radio calls. UConn guy sounds like the first time he had
Posted by osklister
|
For a second there, I thought he was going to need..... "Cpr To Cpr".
Posted by osklister
|
mouth to mouth was right there*
Posted by RVA
|
(hat tip) Gotta give you that one.
Posted by osklister
|
Grant running the gamut of emotions
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
LOFL. *
Posted by harb
|
"Utterly Impossible!"
Posted by Blazer
|
Awesome. Almost felt bad for Grant Hill there. Almost.*
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
i like grant hill. should i not like him, other than for playing for duke?*
Posted by lcubed
|
Almost is correct. *
Posted by harb
|
He might be the one, single former Dook player I never had much of an issue with.
Posted by illinilosch
|
Do you ever listen to Glue Guys with Shane Battier?*
Posted by Potomac
|
It seems like the dumb money and the pundits will be on uconn*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I'm sure there will be more of this as the week goes on
Posted by jdl This would be a good year to re-seed the Final Four.
|
That guy has the most joyless takes on everything. Yeah let’s get rid of brackets, Dan*
Posted by OB25
|
Tough shit Dan.*
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
Also, Bill Murray gets that game and Arizona ‘05. What a life*
Posted by Blazer
|
Who will he root for Saturday?*
Posted by UofIL6
|
His kid is on the UConn staff*
Posted by Blazer
|
Next year he becomes a BC fan *
Posted by jdl
|
Not remotely feeling bad for Duke, but wow have they had brutal tournament exits the last 5 years
Posted by meanjeans
|
(Seinfeld) that’s a shame*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Fuck them*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I hope Scheyer and his dad enjoy watching us in the Final Four*
Posted by GMAW
|
Fuck Duke and fuck Scheyer*

Bronze it.
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
lol, exactly what I thought of as well.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I go out and have a hockey game (scored a goal), check the score and HOLY SHIT*
Posted by timmer
|
We would have been +3.5 against Duke.
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
Duke radio broadcast called for a celebration tech against UConn
Posted by ATL
|
Just when ya thought they couldn't be bigger azzholes if they tried... yeah, the top themselves.
Posted by osklister
|
I mean I had that thought, but unless you inbound it into them
Posted by assassin
|
Thats absolutely the play there. Get the ball and throw at one of the on court folks *
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Hard to do that when the officials immediately stop play to check clock*
Posted by Dilbert
|
Officials should stop doing that. If a team calls timeout, sure. Otherwise play on*
Posted by Potomac
|
Agree. Absurd that any late game make is an auto timeout*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Wild looking at the box score from our first game.
Posted by illini
|
I totally forgot they played in Nov. *
Posted by MC
|
Wagler and Mirk were like 32 minutes combined. Yesterday they were 75.*
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
That is bonkers.*
Posted by gullit
|
Is uconn better than houston?
Posted by apusikam
|
In theory we’ll be favored by several points *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Not on paper, but games aren’t played on paper.
Posted by assassin
|
They have the best coach in the country and it isn’t close*
Posted by GMAW
|
Efficiency wise on the year, no*
Posted by snipes824
|
Yes*
Posted by Stu
|
UConn and Arizona will be home teams. We gonna orange the hell out of this place. *
Posted by illini
|
Scheyer is a nepo baby. Hurley is a dick but a real coach.*
Posted by nash
|
Hurley is a textbook nepo baby.
Posted by Sammich
|
OK shitty analogy lol.*
Posted by nash
|
And Collins is coaching northwestern
Posted by apusikam
|
If only he had angelic eyes *
Posted by meanjeans
|
We’re -2.5*
Posted by illini21
|
Metrics love us but I’m guessing all the bets will be on UConn and that line will move.*
Posted by OB25
|
Wow, I think that line will move to closer to even*
Posted by RSMBob
|
Torkvik says -2.9 with a 62% chance of victory *
Posted by biclops
|
Kenpom also 62% but has us by 4*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Thats an interesting line.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Oh good, "nobody believes in us" UConn*
Posted by apusikam
|
Fuck them, we are the danger *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Where are the Illinois seats in Indy?
Posted by cpsteine
|
You mean Undyinapolis?*
Posted by NastyBoyd
|
How do we match up vs UCONN ? *
Posted by rozoben
|
they're 131st nationally in 3pt%*
Posted by Poldark "After Austin Peay, we deserved one of these"
|
ahh so we should expect them to light it up behind the arc*
Posted by rozoben
|
On Mt Rushmore of tourney blunders no? With Webber’s time out?*
Posted by nash
|
houston trying to stall out the nc state game
Posted by apusikam
|
Some idiot friend called me. What happened?*
Posted by Stu
|
Up 2 with 10 left, Duke tried to advance over the timeline instead of just being fouled
Posted by assassin
|
Ah I missed the turnover. Crap*
Posted by Stu
|
Webber. Fred Brown. Championship game blunders seem more weighty. *
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Duke has lost four games in a calendar year and has had double digit leads in all four
Posted by GMAW
|
It’s insane to me he has that job but I think he’ll be around for awhile
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Hard to argue with his recruiting results.
Posted by DocWalk20
|
In-game win probabilities in their last 4 losses: 98.7% (today), 97.8%, 97.5%, and 95.1%*
Posted by UIHuskie
|
Mario Cristobal called the play for Duke*
Posted by biclops
|
Hopefully nobody punched any of Duke’s assistants in the face during that quasi court storm!*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Jon Scheyer, welcome to the hot seat!*
Posted by Mrap24
|
If Siena had a 6th guy, they probably would have went out in Round 1*
Posted by illini222
|
at what point does scheyer start taking some heat after the last 2 years? wow.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
10 minutes ago.*
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
Ooof
Posted by jdl No. 1 seeds were 134-0 when leading by at least 15 points at halftime of an NCAA Tournament game.
|
What a horrible decision from Boozer. Feel for him. He will regret that one forever *
Posted by MC
|
Better Boozer shouldn’t have given the ball to Sarr either. *
Posted by assassin
|
I’m still stunned he did that. *
Posted by uofi1998
|
The better matchup on paper, but there’s an aura to UConn I just want no part of

May regret this sentiment but this is the matchup I want.*
Posted by nash
|
So when does our game time come out *
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
5:09 pm CST on Saturday*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Now. 509*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
well, bring on UConn.
Posted by IlliniRunner
|
We’re a completely different team, bring it*
Posted by Blazer
|
Yep. Can’t wait.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
So are they
Posted by jdl
|
How the fuck do you not just hold the ball and take the FTs?*
Posted by VIV
|
poorly coached*
Posted by Mrap24
|
You're 18/19 years old *
Posted by ATL
|
I often feel like teams are too conservative in holding the ball in that situation instead of
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Lesser of two evils imo*
Posted by Stu
|
Agreed*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Well that was fucking nuts *
Posted by biclops
|
I can’t believe what I just saw.*
Posted by Toonces
|
OMG OMG OMG *
Posted by rozoben
|
i dont love that the refs immediately stop the game to check the clock
Posted by Mrap24
|
Need a rule to require players on the court to stay away from bench / coaches during these situation
Posted by DocWalk20
|
There was zero reason for Duke to do anything other hold the ball*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Another data point in Scheyer being a bad coach. *
Posted by VIV
|
yes. the literally didnt even have to dribble*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Complete brain fart *
Posted by jdl
|
Wow. *
Posted by harb
|
Scheyer face! *
Posted by jdl
|
JFC*
Posted by ATL
|
Officially even for Christian Laettner. *
Posted by VIV
|
HOLY FUCKING SHIT*
Posted by Blazer
|
STFU!!!!!!!!!!*
Posted by illinilosch
|
Just hold the ball. *
Posted by illini
|
Good grief that bonehead play*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Holly chit*

OMG*

Holy shit*

Oh my God*

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. MARCH MOTHERFUCKING MADNESS *
Posted by VIV
|
WOOWOWOWOQ *
Posted by jdl
|
BRING ON UCONN *
Posted by MC
|
OKG *
Posted by MC
|
total bonehead possession by UCONN*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I think you mean Duke*
Posted by bjl63
|
lol*
Posted by Mrap24
|
What the hell was UConn doing there*
Posted by OB25
|
Playing for one shot was a choice*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Used up so much clock there *
Posted by jdl
|
And lucky/smart to foul by Duke at that point too *
Posted by ATL
|
And then biffed a FT *
Posted by jdl
|
Don’t love that possession at all from UConn *
Posted by MC
|
About time Caravan made one *
Posted by MC
|
wow*
Posted by rozoben
|
I was pretty sure Duke was far superior to UConn going in but man I don’t know now.
Posted by OB25
|
Buddy you’ve been all over the place on Duke. Are you predicting a W or L *
Posted by MC
|
Ha indeed I have. Basically just landing at they’re really good but certainly beatable*
Posted by OB25
|
ugly offense there by UCONN*
Posted by Mrap24
|
duke going away from Cam Boozer is interesting*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Duke has overwhelming talent, but Scheyer has not been very good as a coach.
Posted by VIV
|
I take it back. What is UConn doing in this last :30?*
Posted by VIV
|
shocking that it worked*
Posted by Mrap24
|
If Duke blows this after the huge collapse against Houston last year, yikes*
Posted by OB25
|
The rest of the players that aren’t Cam aren’t doing anything. *
Posted by assassin
|
Brad needs to come up with a solid strategy. We are easily the weakest of the 4*
Posted by rozoben
|
If you’re scared get a dog, rozoBOZO.*
Posted by Toonces
|
just might have to !! *
Posted by rozoben
|
A wild march madness has appeared *
Posted by assassin
|
Well this is crazy *
Posted by biclops
|
Just watching Hurley exist is terrible *
Posted by assassin
|
Hurley is such a shitbag*
Posted by VIV
|
Khamenia butthole*
Posted by VIV
|
Duke played a near perfect 1st half and UConn is 1-16 from three. But it’s a 7 point game.*
Posted by OB25
|
Boozer is allowed to be as physical as he wants to be*
Posted by OB25
|
Clank*
Posted by assassin
|
Real UConn coming out*
Posted by Stu
|
UConn hello me not dead? *
Posted by illini
|
Boozer definitely gets a bit of the Sean May whistle. I’m sure our fans will take that in stride*
Posted by OB25
|
So the FF will be the top 4 Kenpom teams and the dropoff from 3 to 4 (us) is 3 pts *
Posted by biclops
|
It’s also the top 3 defenses *
Posted by biclops
|
Embrace debate - I don’t the KenPom rankings should keep getting updated for tourney games
Posted by OB25
|
I mean there are date stamps on each rating / ranking, no?*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
These other E8 games aren’t giving me a ton of confidence *
Posted by biclops
|
We will have more losses than the remaining teams combined
Posted by opey8
|
Hurley is such an unlikable asshole*
Posted by opey8
|
He looks like he’s ready to cry.*
Posted by Toonces
|
Or turn into a rabid serial killer*
Posted by illinilosch
|
Duke killing UConn double team of Cameron Boozer
Posted by Poldark "After Austin Peay, we deserved one of these"
|
UCONNs offense is ass*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Duke looks like a fucking wagon.*
Posted by Toonces
|
Well bring on Duke *
Posted by MC
|
How is Foster even playing *
Posted by MC
|
Duke runs great offense. Definitely think we’d have a much better chance against UConn*
Posted by OB25
|
What a clinic. I take back my Friday comment about them not being that scary.*
Posted by OB25
|
Anyone see an early Zona Mich line?*
Posted by bucktownillini
|
gotta be Michigan/Arizona as the late game right? It's an incredible matchup.*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Michigan -1.5*
Posted by Poldark "After Austin Peay, we deserved one of these"
|
Morez is psycho. Go Zona*
Posted by oskeewowza
|
Imagine how good this Michigan team would be if they didn’t all hate each other*
Posted by OB25
|
Imagine how good we would be if we played our PG who is better than Braden Smith*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
I hate them enough for everyone. Go Cats.*
Posted by Toonces
|
I think we can beat Duke/Uconn. I don’t want to say what I think happens vs Mich/AZ
Posted by MC
|
When we lost to Michigan earlier this year, it felt like they would win 8 out of 10 against us.
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Gotta hit all your threes and pray*
Posted by assassin
|
Wonder if Laxel will be a prick in the postgame presser again about the age of the competition? *
Posted by illini
|
Am I the only one that prefers Duke over UCONN or do I have PTSD?*
Posted by gullit
|
I want Duke to win because Danny Hurley is a giant prolapsed anus*
Posted by IlliniRunner
|
Goon it up, Tennessee. Someone trip Yaxel please.*
Posted by Toonces
|
Morez doing something stupid and getting suspended for the Final Four would be *chefs kiss**
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Stay classy Michigan*

Now officially a dickwhipping.*

People saying we had an easy route to the FF, I give you Michigan.*
Posted by Toonces
|
Meh. We beat who we had to. Houston was a tough draw. *
Posted by harb
|
I’m just saying we aren’t the only ones who had a good draw. Alabama and ISI were missing
Posted by Toonces
|
Houston in Houston. Anybody who discounts that can eat a full plate of dicks.*
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
True story. *
Posted by harb
|
Warm up the plane Vols.*

I’ve seen enough. Michigan wins this by 15+*

I was gonna say 30*
Posted by assassin
|
Avalanche *
Posted by assassin
|
UConn’d alert.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
If Morez is allowed to travel and obliterate guys on the block, uh. *
Posted by assassin
|
Er and that’s goaltending. This game is too much for these refs. *
Posted by assassin
|
How do they not even look at that? Are these B1G refs?*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
would you be shocked if I told you that high knees was one of the officials?*
Posted by Illiniphil
|
That was the second one they’ve missed this half that were obvious in real time. *
Posted by assassin
|
haha and now they're 0-3!*
Posted by assassin
|
College basketball officiating has really gone backwards again. These games in the 50s and low 60s
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Cmon Tennessee. Would love to see Michigans season end today.*
Posted by Toonces
|
Would love to see Michigan end today. *
Posted by osklister
|
My view of first bucket:
Posted by JeffFrank
|
I couldn’t believe it’s been 25 years since Zona was in the FF*
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
Last 2 times the 2 respective schools were there, they beat the other to get there.
Posted by uofi1998
|
Coulda swore they made a few since 2001. I was wrong*
Posted by illinilosch
|
Yeah. I consider them a top tier program.*
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
The ends of both the Olson and Miller eras were pretty messy
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Yeah, a boatload of high seeds will do that…*
Posted by uofi1998
|
I think I wouldn't hate Purdue winning
Posted by opey8
|
Purdue and Michigan losing makes tickets cheaper. *
Posted by LovetheChief
|
yup.*
Posted by Poldark "After Austin Peay, we deserved one of these"
|
Meyer is gonna shoot all the bad shots, huh?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
i wonder how much tickets are if I walk over at halftime*
Posted by assassin
|
lol there are so many open seats and they didn't lower them*
Posted by assassin
|
Cluff running the break was an adventure, and he also blatantly traveled*
Posted by UIHuskie
|
I think Purdue wins this*
Posted by Stu
|
Shoot the ball Braden Smith*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
ooo
Posted by jdl
|
If the F4 is Duke, Iowa, Michigan, Purdue - I'm cheering for an asteroid *
Posted by MC
|
Armageddon scenario avoided *
Posted by biclops
|
I won't be participating, thank you. *
Posted by Tuscy
|
Pretty big Elite 8 spreads, all 4 games between -5.5 and -7.5 for the favorites*
Posted by OB25
|
Tennessee, Michigan, UConn, Iowa, Purdue. We’ve played 5 of the other 7 teams*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
3-2*
Posted by biclops
|
Games ending at 1:00 AM eastern is fucking nuts*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Games ending at 5p Pacific wouldn’t be great either *
Posted by assassin
|
Tough with the injury this year, but Iowa State sure did nothing but with this 3-year run*
Posted by OB25
|
I’d skip Otz if I’m UNC.
Posted by bjl63
|
Lots of rough FT shooting performances in the Sweet 16*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
That last minute they put the ass in classy.*
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
Bye bye Izzo *
Posted by Ron McDon
|
I hope the door knocks his ass over on the way out*
Posted by OWWDig
|
What was Izzo doing there. Call a TO, get your shooters on the floor*
Posted by Blazer
|
Do they have any? They put Tang in which is probably the closest they have.*
Posted by OB25
|
They had one. Maybe those were the best shooters, but after 15 seconds of nothing
Posted by Blazer
|
Insane to let Fears kill the clock like that. Like he was on the take.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Someone unplugged Fears controller *
Posted by assassin
|
Awful from Fears. *
Posted by VIV
|
Hate to see it.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
You shouldn’t bust his balls*
Posted by biclops
|
He should have taken it to the rack*
Posted by biclops
|
Nuts that he didn’t get a shot off*
Posted by biclops
|
Really rough trip down the floor that time*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Wasted so much time.*
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
oh msu*
Posted by biclops
|
ISU looks like crap*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
(no subject)
Posted by OB25
|
It’s amazing that MSU can score with these lineups that have no shooting threat at all.*
Posted by OB25
|
Of course Fears drills a 3*
Posted by OB25
|
Fears flop*
Posted by OB25
|
He probably WOULD have been run over
Posted by assassin
|
I can’t stand Izzo. Hurley might be a step further.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Ian Eagle with a Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper reference. Perfect*
Posted by illini21
|
Sparty missed a bunch of short ones to lose control of this *
Posted by assassin
|
Should dunk more like that. *
Posted by assassin
|
Neither of these teams are beating Michigan*
Posted by AintHatin
|
arizona looking for their first final four since 2001??
Posted by snipes824
|
Having experienced it first hand, there’s just something about the culture of the MSU program
Posted by GMAW
|
As a program they'd be significantly better long term if Izzo left ASAP
Posted by opey8
|
he wins in March. I agree he feels like a dino and perhaps the game

UCONN let them back into the game.*

Mean lookin stye Izzo has. Also, Carr needs to crash into Hurley when he leans on the court. *
Posted by assassin
|
Get off the fucking court, Hurley*
Posted by assassin
|
Well this version of UConn isn’t a team I’d want to run into.*
Posted by OB25
|
Also, if you took this exact MSU roster and dropped them on Indiana or Ohio State…
Posted by OB25

They are putting it together just like 2 years ago*

Duke-UConn: Who ya got?*
Posted by Stu

Sparty is getting run off the floor early. *
Posted by assassin

MSU is shit without ref assist *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Yes, with ref assist they might be down only 15*
Posted by Stu
|
This is glorious *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Dusty May is going to UNC right?*
Posted by gullit
|
Just seems crazy to me for him to go there.
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
No*
Posted by OB25
|
He shouldn’t. He’s at a better job currently*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Yeah Michigan's cupboard is full of national championship trophies.*
Posted by gullit
|
Timely tweet
Posted by jdl Reporter brings up the fact that four Big Ten teams are into the Elite 8, asks are there advantages that the Big Ten has now in men’s basketball and football?
|
I don't think that matters in today's environment. You can recruit just fine without it
Posted by UofIL6
|
In the year of our Lord 2026 Michigan is a significantly better job than UNC*
Posted by opey8
|
Yup. Better league (revenue sharing) and football school money*
Posted by WhitmansFolly
|
Suddenly rhe UNC gig is a ton of pressure at program that is not elite in terms of resources *
Posted by meanjeans

Is there a reason for him to leave UM?*
