This is what we’re up against. Who do you like? Who do you hate?

It’s good drama.

UConn and Tennessee are my only picks left.

For the record, I added “(Big Dance)” to the thread title because a highly esteemed member of this board taught me that thread titles matter. I don’t learn much, but I learned that.

Will be pulling for Illinois and Purdue due to conference affiliation.
Being stuck in North Carolina, the highlight is that with three ACC teams still standing, the Turd Heels are not among them.
So spring has officially sprung with flowers blooming, song birds singing, and Tar Heels choking.

I like Purdue and Illinois, simply because they’re in the Big10; I dislike Duke and UConn simply because they’ve been there too many times before. Other than that, I couldn’t care much less. I’ll be all in however when Penn State makes the Elite 8 though. LOL

UConn has a dominant 7'2" center. Edey is 7'4".

Rhodes needs someone like one of those guys.
Unfortunately if we got a guy like that he wouldn’t be able to walk and chew gum at the same time, otherwise he isn’t coming to PSU.

Rooting for the biggest dog, NCST. Was glad Duke beat Houston as Sampson is a jerk (solid coach, bad person) and because I think NCST has a better chance against them

If you can’t go to college, go to State.

UConn on an 11-0 run to open the second half, now UI 23-38 UConn. Wow, relentless on O and D.

Now a 36-6 run for UConn. Illinois looks pathetic in the second half. They’ve officially given up.

Forced to watch this game at my in-laws and WTF is going on? Brutal and embarrassing.

I can't remember a shellacking anything like the Illini experienced in today's UConn - Illinois East Regional Final (77-52, UConn) since Penn's 1971 loss to Villanova, 90-47, also in a Regional Final. The only differences between the games: 1) Illini played OK in the 1st half, while Penn stunk from the start, 2) Penn was the higher seed, while the Illini were the lower seed.

I'm not sure if UConn is that good, or if the Illini just went stone cold at an inopportune time.

Has a coach ever been fired after a loss in the Elite Eight? F*cking Underwear.

I believe UConn is that good.

I was looking forward to seeing $2 bills in Phoenix. Bummer. I’ll be looking for a good Yellow Hammer recipe now.

It is truly amazing that Illinois got this far without a good point guard. They have good forwards, centers, and shooting guards, but the kid who played PG wasn't very good all year. The strength of the rest of the team masked the deficiencies at PG all year.
