smh810 Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 Granted he's won a championship but doesnt Lute Olson have a history with his teams sitting on leads late in the game.
iggymcfly Posted March 27, 2005 Report 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 Posted March 27, 2005 Author Report 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 Â 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?)
CanadianChris Posted March 27, 2005 Report 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 They took about 25 minutes to do that. Illinois came back from 15 down with 4 minutes left.
Slayer Posted March 27, 2005 Author Report 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

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.
SilverPhoenix Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 This is it. Â It's literally going to come down to one basket.
Vern Gagne Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 Refes are gonna do everything to give Illinois this game.
iggymcfly Posted March 27, 2005 Report 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.
CanadianChris Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 The Arizona cheerleaders' uniforms suck.
Gert T Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 Salim, give it up to Hassan Adams to take it to the hoop....
Bored Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 You know we haven't had a true buzzer beater in the tournament...yet. Â Wow what a horrible possesion to end it.
2GOLD Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 The hell was that? Did Arizona forget there was a CLOCK?!?!?
Guest Smues Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 Way to blow that last shot Arizona. This is like the NFL playoffs all over again, where the first weekend everygame goes the way I want it, and absolutely nothing does after that.
iggymcfly Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 Oh, and Wake/WVU can suck a dick. That was the game of the tournament right there.
Gert T Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 I said take it to the hoop (shakes fist) Â Good game, refs whistles stopped functioning with 1:30 to go. (For both teams)

CanadianChris Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 I'll say it...Illinois is going to be cutting down the nets next Monday.
Vern Gagne Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 That's the fucking call, from the timeout. Hold the ball, and force up a 3 point shot.
Guest Mosaicv2 Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 ARIZONA CHOKED!!! ARIZONA CHOKED!!! WHAT A GAG!!!
teke184 Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 Woohoo! Â C'mon Kentucky! Beat those Spartans tomorrow!
Slayer Posted March 27, 2005 Author Report Posted March 27, 2005 Also, fuck (since Illinois won and there was major lag) Â On the other hand it makes it much easier to root for Louisville. I dunno who I could have gone for were it Louisville-Arizona
The Czech Republic Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 What a night of basketball here. Illinois wins a close one in Rosemont, and the Bulls are cleaning up on the Pacers in Chicago. Miller and Carlisle didn't make it out of the half
Damaramu Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 What the hell was that!? I mean seriously! My friend who doesn't watch basketball went "Do they not know how to play basketball? What are they doing?"
Mik Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 I'll say it...Illinois is going to be cutting down the nets next Monday. No, they'll be watching Sean May and Roy Williams cut them down.
iggymcfly Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 Well, my enthusiasm just got tempered a little bit. Â 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. Â 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.
Mole Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 Good God, I can't believe Zona lost. Â Sooo fuckin pissed.
Damaramu Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 I'll say it...Illinois is going to be cutting down the nets next Monday. No, they'll be watching Sean May and Roy Williams cut them down. You're all wrong. Rick Petino and Francisco Garcia will be cutting them down!
