Illinois

For those that missed it, the ending layup did have some controversy with it. The Orleans Arena doesn't have the backboard red border for when the clock runs out. When the clock hit 1 second, it shut off on the replay, so the refs had no choice but to count it when they were checking the replay at the end. It looked like the time had run out though but ya can't change it now.

Well, Illinois shouldn't have let it go to the last second anyway, especially when they blew a 16 point lead. You play like garbage, then you have to live with the result.

Time for some mental toughness in Vegas.......

Wow. IL must be horrible. Surely can't shot that poorly two games in a row.

My reaction about our game:
My reaction from that finish: :-o
My reaction about tomorrow's game now:

The Illini are going to be out for blood. I sure hope we're ready.

We should be out for blood too. I don't think our team is satisfied with the effort put forth tonight, so it should make for some very interesting dynamics tomorrow. I don't know now how good Illinois is, but hopefully we can still catch them while they are down. Heck, Creighton played uninspired today too after a game they should have won. Hopefully Illinois will come in with that same mindset.

I suggest going tall.
