iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2005 I can't believe something's finally going my way. All through the second half I was thinking about how this was the most depressing tournament ever, and then Illinois does that. Two steals on throw-ins in the last minute? It's just crazy.

Slayer 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2005 Jesus Christ. This would be one of the greatest comebacks in tournament history if they can finish it off. What about earlier with Louisville coming back from 20 I want Illinois to lose, largely because I think they've been overrated all year just because of their big win against Wake Forest (and where are they?)

Slayer 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2005 On top of that, with the region they were put in, and luck of the FF being in StL, Illinois has (will?) never had to travel outside a 200 mile radius from home. How fucking lucky is that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's also that small matter of only losing one game all year. Don't forget that. And this is way better than Louisville's comeback because they were still down 15 with 4 minutes and down 8 with under a minute. They made the entire comeback at the very end of the game.

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2005 Why the fuck did they dribble the clock down there? If they would have gotten across halfcourt quickly and then called timeout, they could have gotten a 2 for 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2005 Well, my enthusiasm just got tempered a little bit. I thought I just needed Illinois to win the championship and Kentucky to not make it for me to get second in my money pool. However, after rechecking the standings, I see I can lose it if Carolina makes the title game too. So basically, I need Illinois to win the championship over one of the other Big Ten schools. It would take a miracle for Wisconsin or MSU to pull through, but at least I've still got hope for another day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
