@JonRothstein You can hear the respect between the two. Good interview.

A sit down with UConn’s Dan Hurley and Illinois’ Brad Underwood before today’s Final Four matchup in Indianapolis.

@BigGlennNetwork @BBallSchoILL Kinda like a bad Creighton team winning at UConn. Embarrassing

@BBallSchoILL Bro can’t even defend their own gym when huskers come to town. Sad!

Illinois’ best season in 20+ years and they: - Lost to Nebraska at home - Were a worse seed than the Huskers in the Big Ten Tournament To say that I am #Noticing is an understatement.

@CBBAnalytics Losses to Creighton at home and Marquette. These teams didn’t make the tournament. All illinois losses are to teams that were in the tournament.

These games aren’t coin flips.

@AtxDem @FrankMarco44337 @nickbateman33 Yea Mullins was a stud against duke. Won by a last second shot. The past doesn’t matter to this game. Illinois will win this game. I-L-L

@FrankMarco44337 @nickbateman33 So is UCONN - the guy who just won the East Region MOP (Reed) played 15 mins and had 2 points and the guy who buried Duke (Mullins) played his 1st NCAA game ever against Illinois - 2 pts in 10 mins coming off pre-season injury. But by all means...count them out if you like.

Final 4 score predictions Michigan 81 Arizona 80 - game of the century Illinois 76 UConn 63 - feel extremely confident Illinois will win comfortably

@OutKickHotMic @Brian_Butch32 Bradley is better than Cadeau

For Arizona to have a real chance against Michigan, @Brian_Butch32 says two things need to happen: - Arizona must force turnovers - The Wildcats need to contain Elliot Cadeau and ideally get him into foul trouble That formula worked for Wisconsin earlier this season. Will it be enough for Arizona in the Final Four? @HuttonOutkick @TheChadWithrow

@BetMGM Illinois with the best win.

UConn is battle tested 😤

@MarchMadnessMBB Refs dictating the game early. One team can be physical the other can’t.

Gotta box out Roddy Gayle or he'll make you pay 😤

@theblockspot @JBRBracketology Your credibility is sinking like a ship the more and more you post.

@JBRBracketology Overlooked. Barely anybody had them. We are forced to pay attention now. Had a very easy path. All true.

What

@RockChalkBlog Illinois has the best win in the tournament. Don’t discount them.

Arizona is the best team in the country, and the gap between them and No. 2 is wider than the gap between No. 2 and whoever the worst team left is. The best team doesn't always win this tournament. They'll play two more very tough opponents. But they're the best. By a lot.

@Lanenom00 @geniusdallasfan @BRamseyKSR 💯

@geniusdallasfan @BRamseyKSR Carolina downs Illinois

Three upset picks that I'm looking at HARD today... #12 High Point over #5 Wisconsin #12 McNeese over #5 Vanderbilt #11 Texas over #6 BYU I know #11 South Florida over #6 Louisville is VERY trendy...but I lean towards these three a little more What is YOUR favorite upset pick?

@itsAntWright They looked good doing it.

@Lanenom00 @geniusdallasfan @BRamseyKSR VCU downs Carolina

@itsAntWright 2 of them have been bought and the other 4 have been developed.

AP 1st Team All American Yaxel Lendeborg AP 2nd Team All American Braden Smith Jeremy Fears Jr Keaton Wagler AP Honorable Mention All American Bennett Stirtz Bruce Thornton

@TitoSmirnoff @BarstoolILL Dee, Deron, & Luther would feast though.

@BarstoolILL I don't know. Alot of talent and athleticism on this Michigan team down low. Augustine and Powell would be overpowered. Maybe big Jack Ingram gets sloppy. Nick Smith wouldnt do shit.

2005 Illinois was 21 years ago. Come one Rapheal, you’re 0 for 2

@TheConnorPils Amen!!

Down 15 with 4 minutes to go. The Illini came all the way back to force OT and advance to the Final 4. Maybe the greatest comeback in March Madness history x.com/ThrowbackHoops…

@Badgers_44 @GreenStGeneral 8-2 the last 10 for the Illini.

@GreenStGeneral How is Wisconsin and Illinois a rivalry when we own you?

Top 5 rivalries in the Big Ten 1. Illinois vs Michigan 2. Illinois vs Purdue 3. Illinois vs Indiana 4. Illinois vs Iowa 5. Illinois vs Wisconsin Honorable Mention: Michigan vs Michigan State

@rforan23 @StockTalks21 No they are not.

@StockTalks21 They’re gonna lose to Illinois

Michigan is the best team in the sport right now in Men’s College Basketball. But I have a question. Who do you think is more important to their team success. Yaxel Lendeborg or Aday Mara?

@HTee02736181 @glenn_kinley Most big ten wins this decade. Better sit this one out pal

@glenn_kinley If underwood knew how to prepare his players and coach, he wouldn't need to act like an angry black woman that got shorted on her McDonald's fries every game..

It's been awhile since Brad Underwood got a technical foul. He tells me he tried to change that on Tuesday during #Illini game against Wisconsin. "I mean I was trying really hard to get [a tech.] And the guy knew he was awful and just wouldn't give me one... I even said the magic word and didn't get one." He views technical fouls as a strategic thing for his team - needing to know when it could help/hurt his group.

@WiscoSportsHQ @W_B_Rick We’re talking about players missed. Then the fluky win against the Illini without their 2nd and 3rd best players should be talked about. Illini win easily when healthy.

@W_B_Rick I think the guy people aren’t talking about taking a jump is Rapp! Since ohio st avg 15 ppg and missed the game against Indiana. Which they lost

It’s time to have a conversation about Wisconsin Badger basketball The guard play is elite right now and they are officially in “Team Nobody Wants To See In March” territory

@itsAntWright Pair them with Michigan’s front court.

Boyd/Blackwell with 53 combined tonight
