I'm with ya BB...

And i was so high on Arizona, that i went back and played them for second half +2.5 as well....so i am really riding on Arizona +4.5...

Looked like easy money with 3 minutes to go....

This is gonna hurt, if they dont pull it out...

I want them to win straight up as well, as i have them winning my bracket contest...

if Illini pull this out, i don't wanna see any Ill fans coming out of the woodworks, this team is a FRAUD, a "homecourt advantage throughout the tournament" FRAUD

well i "thought" we were gonna get our shot...

that might be the worst "10 second" play i ever saw....

Never gave the ball to a shooter, and just stood around and get a turnaround 24 footer....

Ridiculous...

The Illini could not miss a 3 pt shot in the final 3 minutes. The 3pt shot kept them in this game.

atleast they won on a "neutral" court. Also, made a nice comeback in the 2nd half. Villanova played with guts and didn't hand them the game in the final 2 minutes.

If Ill plays UNC, UNC will beat them by double digits.

If you guys can't take a step back and consider what you saw tonight, then I really feel sorry for you. That was the greatest college basketball game ever, and it will never be duplicated. I was fortunate enough to see it in person, and will always have that memory for as long as I live. As far as the home court advantage, it was definitely real, but nothing that anyone should cry about. That's what you get when you're the top #1 seed. If Arizona would have taken care of business in the Pac-10 title game, they would have been the #1 seed and playing just a few hours from home.

Bask in in Illini.....you deserve it. Must have been one hell of a game to see live.

Duke is dead, the world is a beautiful place.

Thanks, brother. It was indescribeable. As a fan, you want to win so badly that you completely lose touch with reality for the time being. The range of emotions is something I will never forget. Unbelieveable.

That's what it's all about. I've had the chance to experience my share, and there's nothing else like it.

I think your boys are going to make you happy-insane amount of talent.

That whole team needs to swallow one...lute needs to bat lead off too. what a joke of an ending. That might be one of the biggest chokes in college bb history. what a gift for the illini!

Arizona made some mistakes, but it took unbelieveable heart and courage to come back from that deficit. To make those shots under all that pressure....simply amazing. And the Illini defense seized the opportunity. To say Arizona gave them a gift is not fair to either team. It was a phenomenal game....one for the ages. :toast:
