Big whoop. They had very little motivation in this game. They will get a 3 seed anyhow. Michigan State is a good team capable of beating anyone in the nation and we beat them 2 of 3. It's tough to beat a team 3 tiimes in 1 year. The big ten tournament shouldn't even exist in my opinion. I still think they go to at least the sweet 16 in the ncaa tournament.

mich st is capable of beating anyone in the nation as is about 38 other teams. Big 10 tourney should exist just like every other conference tourney...think Syracuse would argue this point right now. Illini did have motivation they just weren't the better team tonight. They should make the Sweet 16 but will be in a close game whoever they play for it as all the other big 10 teams will be.
I never said that. I didn't see the game, cause we didn't get it out here. But it sounded like Dee Brown sucked, and so goes the Illini when that happens. I don't know if they played inspired ball or not, but it's hard for a tournament to end like this, when you are looking forward to a fun weekend of playing on a big stage for a title. Weber is not a coach that would let his team lay down, because they don't "need the game." Sounds like they just got beat, and that happens. Disappointing.Journeyman said:
