Well Illinois just choked
Edited on Mon Apr-04-05 10:25 PM by RPM
guh - why do the teams I pick never win....

On edit: OK - i was off by one point, now it is 70-73, so all is not lost, but things are pretty bleak...

Second Edit: 5 point game, 5 point deficit, fat lady singing...

11. There is a huge mass of people outside Altgeld hall screaming Fuck UNC
Edited on Mon Apr-04-05 10:53 PM by JVS
It was an exciting game, and they really did well coming back from that big lead UNC had, I missed the first 15 minutes. It seemed that the fouls were all one way in the game, any info on that from earlier?

8. We gave it away.
Played lousy defense, took lousy shots, came back in the 2d half in spite of that and some lousy calls from the officials, but we still never should've been in that situation in the first place.

10. Again...that doesn't make up.
Cubs win meaningless Opening Day game vs. Illini giving away the national championship. I'd rather have seen the Cubs get trounced 23-1 and have the Illini win.
