How about that Illinois basketball team?

[B Calm]

Are they for real?

1. Iowa gave them a scare.. Even went into overtime..

2. I think they're for real but their conference is a tad down this year, imo

Syracuse on the other hand, is just nasty!


Go CUSE!:bounce:

4. Gotta love to 2-3 Zone

Everyone knows it is coming, and you still can't get a decent inside game against it.

3. 21 Win 0 Loss

Illinois keeps rockin' on!

5. Not too shabby, but what do you expect from Bill Self's kids....

I know that me and my Jayhawks are looking forward to running smack dab into and over them in St. Louis.....

See you there!

6. Very impressive

I think MSU would have beaten anyone else last night, but Illinois seemed to have a response for everything. Their defense was also very impressive.

7. Illinois is still undefeated!

8. 25-0

You cannot beat the chemistry of the team, especially Dee the 3 Brown. :toast:

10. they really are

even though i am a big Wisconsin fan and was devastated by the loss yesterday (and a couple weeks ago), damn Illinois is just so much fun to watch because they are so damn good

11. 27-0 Now

Although the Hawks played D very well. Glad to see Weber using more than the front team and got the bench to working when there were too many fouls.

Go Orange Crush....!!

15. Lost to Ohio St. by one at the end of the year.

Nevertheless, the team to beat.

12. I think they are for real

Haven't seen this kind of selfless basketball in quite a long time. There's an AP feature story out talking about how much they love hanging together and doing things off-the-court too.

I'd say they have a real shot at winning it all in St. Louis. It may become Champaign-Urbana south that first weekend in April!!

13. We hope so too

14. Sweet Sixteen
