iowa beating nebraska would be good for us. would make tickets that much more affordable lol

 

Take care of business and take advantage of opportunities. This team is capable of beating every team in the field - but stay humble and play hard.

 

I have premarital counseling at 6pm on Thursday. I’m hoping UH gets the late game because our marriage hangs in the balance.

On a serious note, the path is even more clear for UH. Nothing will ever be crazier than when they played a 15, 10, 11, 12 to get to the Final Four.

 

With Florida out of the tournament, the road is paved for UH to win the South. Now they just have to DO IT!

 

Your marriage is most important. Go for a Win-Win.

 

I'm so ****ing sick of these 10pm est tipoffs.

I spend the whole month of March like a ****ing zombie at work. Ugh.

 

I hope so and they take advantage because as of now, Florida's loss seems a slap in the face. They couldn't lose last year and beat us (blooper-esque finish), then make notorious history the very next weekend.

 

We're a late arriving crowd anyways and it's the marquee matchup. I'm concerned, but I'm always concerned. I was concerned when we couldn't get separation from TAMU early on, even though I knew that it was a good matchup and the game should not be too difficult. Illinois is a beast of a team though. They have size, length, athleticism, shot-making. They're not perfect, but they're right there in the same tier as this Coogs team.

Sure, little else matters if they're hot and you're not, or vice versa. Apart from that, I'm really curious to see how well we can defend and control pace. They can be turnover prone, but they also often make the right pass. Coogs vary their defense a little, from switching to hard trapping and little in between. If the traps come and the turnovers don't get created, I'm concerned about the Illini getting too easy buckets and their offensive rebounding. It's not necessarily about Tugler/Cenac/Sahko vs the Twins and Euros, but also about whether our guards can defensively rebound well enough in rotation. Offensively, I know our guys are more perimeter oriented, but the Illini can be foul prone, especially on athletic guards. Offensive rim pressure and FTs could sooth scoring droughts.
