Illini v. Arizona - WHAT A GAME!!!

80 all going into OT!!!! GO ILLINI!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe Illinois tied it!

I think Illinois is winning in OT!

with any regularity. It is exciting!

3 minutes left. What a comeback to tie it.

Old saying but very true!

YIPPEE!:bounce:

The crowd helped, glad in was in Chicago. I'm for them to go to the final game vs Mich State.

I need them to get to the finals to lose to UNC :).

Great job Illinois!:bounce:

Especially UNC.

I watched them play yesterday. I was not impressed.

right to the last second. that last play, though, az took too long to get moving. they were like snails!

but i was rooting for az. oh well. that is the last of my final four picks gone.

:hurts:

could be another Big Ten tournament.

I'm tired of hearing how great the other conferences are compared to the Big 10 and how the conference is so weak.

Go Illini! :kick:

because I was born and raised in Illinois and the rest of my family lives there. (I'm in Atlanta). My 84-yr. old father loves to watch Illinois play. As does my best friend from my home town. So, I'm happy for them. And all the fine people of Illinois. I had to fly to O'Hare last weekend to get back to Atlanta (from Bonaire....Air Jamaica had a total meltdown and that was the only way we could get home). All the O'Hare personnel couldn't have been nicer. They were friendly and efficient. We were whisked away to a hotel at 3am, had a big Midwestern breakfast buffet when we got up, and were taken back and put on our flight to Atlanta. So, good for Illinois. A wonderful Blue State.

That's how I've been handicapping the tournament so far. It's working pretty well. The Big Ten has three teams left alive. On Wisconsin, and Let's Go State!
