It would be an extremely bad look for the Big Ten, and I do think the Illini roll........but it would be hil-larious if Illinois lost.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Btw, my picks.

Illinois vs Loyola-Chicago
Baylor vs Wisconsin
West Virginia vs Syracuse
Arkansas vs Texas Tech

Houston vs Rutgers
Florida vs Oral Roberts
Villanova vs North Texas
Oklahoma State vs Oregon State



Despite the 1st Round trend this year, the Round of 32 is usually devoid of upsets as the better teams start to settle in and most of the teams that pulled off the 1st Round upsets come off their high.

 

[SotaHawk87]

I think Wisconsin might do it..

 

[luvmyhawks]

I think Wisconsin might do it..

I don’t know if they win, but they are going to give Baylor all they can handle. Illinois off to a rough start.

 

[SotaHawk87]

I see they’re still not calling Illinois travels that’s cool..

 

[Hawks4Life86]

Loyola, Baylor, Rutgers

 

[Moral]

Illinois going to finish this game with 69 turnovers.

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

Jfc curbelo travels so much

 

[Franisdaman]

Illinois going to finish this game with 69 turnovers.

Sister Jean did 69 Hail Marys and 69 Our Fathers this morning

Will it work?

 

[Chishawk1425]

Cryin Ilini in trouble

 

[Franisdaman]

The Sweet 16 would look good on @MrsScrew

where you watching the game, Mrs Screw?

 

[CookyMonster]

Amazing how average the illini look with competent pick n roll defense

 

[HawkAssassin]

Only game I saw of Loyola before the tourney was against Wisconsin. Didn’t really strike me as a high level team from the Valley in the past. Really impressed against GT who gave them their best shot. They might be deserving of their kenpom rank.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

illini looking like warmed over dogsh!t out of the gate today

 

[Chishawk1425]

Loyola is nasty. Bad break for Illini they were an 8 seed.

 

[SotaHawk87]

I hate Illinois so much

 

[Moral]

Refs swallowing their whistles so far this game.

 

[CookyMonster]

Sister Jean bringing the Stephen Hawking vibe

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

Refs swallowing their whistles so far this game.

And I wonder who that’s going to help 😡

 

[MeetTheFerentz]

I wish Illinois scored 14 points in the first 14 minutes when they played US.

 

[SotaHawk87]

LETS GO!!

 

[Ronman]

Is invoking God to intercede with your basketball game cricket?

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

Wow team basketball is fun to watch. Too many what about me’s on the Illini.

 

[CookyMonster]

I wish Illinois scored 14 points in the first 14 minutes when they played US.

They are so much better than us on defense.

 

[hawkedoff]

Love it. Go to hell illinois. You know these loyola kids have a chip on their shoulder and illinois is acting like douchebags. Throwing the ball into that kids junk going out of bounds? Screw illinois even if it does make the conference look bad.

 

[RocknRollface]

Loyal again showing defense is primarily about effort and understanding concepts.

 

[HawkAssassin]

Houston is a 2 seed with the number 5 kenpom ranking. Only two quad 1 wins.

Loyola is an 8 seed with the number 9 kenpom ranking. Only two quad 1 wins.

It was a down year in the American.

Someone’s going to have to explain that. The 1 seed shouldn’t have to play a team like this. I know we hate Illinois, but that’s silly.

 

[Moral]

Illinois gifted a phantom foul.

**** them. They deserve it.

 

[luvmyhawks]

Illinois looks completely inept and outmatched so far. Shocking to say the least.

 

[MWardT]

Jfc curbelo travels so much

And has flopped a couple of times and has gotten the call.

 

[hawkedoff]

Illinois gifted a phantom foul.

That call should have that official explaining himself but you know that won't happen. It is that exact type of call that gets lost and yet impacts the game

 

[Franisdaman]

Refs swallowing their whistles so far this game.

more grabbling and holding from the Illini then?

 

[RocknRollface]

**** them. They deserve it.

Id be fine if Iowa was in Sweet 16 and Illinois wasn't.

 

[Franisdaman]

Loyal again showing defense is primarily about effort and understanding concepts.

their coach is good

Final Four just a couple years ago

 

[MWardT]

Even the Sister Jean’s think Illinois are thugs.

 

[Franisdaman]

just makes the B1G look bad if they lose
