Alex

@BIX3117 Thanks, Bix. You’re a good dude. I can’t believe this is happening. I’m just happy I was so wrong.

@TweetlessAlexT I’m happy for you Alex but I trust your takes so I had Illinois losing early in all my brackets! Best of luck to you and your team.

Just fast forward to the end. I can’t stand this Illinois team. It will be over in 7 days. Thank god.

You just can’t beat the emotion of #MarchMadness

@BIX3117 I’ve never been more happy to be wrong. Loser take on my part.

@TweetlessAlexT Alex, I’m sorry but I’m blaming you! I expected Illinois to loose right away so I had them losing early in all my brackets because I trust you on all things Illinois.

ARE YOU WITH US? For the first time since 2005, we're heading to the FINAL FOUR.

I can’t believe the University of Illinois is going to the Final Four.

The Illinois Fighting Illini are heading to the Final Four!!! I-L-L!

Excited. Nervous. Anxious. Every single emotion in my body is being pulled for tonight’s game. I am ready to be hurt. I am ready to celebrate. I want it to be 5:09pm. I-L-L

Ten years ago, I was happy when Illinois made it to the NIT. Second Elite 8 in three years. Enjoy the ride. It’s a beautiful journey. I-L-L!!

Man didn’t see this from Illinois wow they have the talent but how about the defense

I can’t believe this is happening. This version of Illinois is DAMN GOOD.

@a_m_g3 If you want my ultimate pain, root for Iowa vs. Illinois for a chance to go to the Final Four. For my sanity, hope both teams have fun!

@TweetlessAlexT Serious question: Do I want a Houston victory or an Iowa-Illinois elite eight matchup? Decisions, decisions.

Caustically optimistic. Houston is damn good. Illinois is damn good. Don’t turn it over and you’ve got a shot. I-L-L

My take on @Cardinals this year: -Most excited I’ve been in years. The franchise chose a direction. -Minor League development is #1 this season. Build MLB talent! -J.J. Weatherholt is going to be awesome. -Jordan Walker final evaluation. Record prediction: 70-92

The beginning of a new era in Cardinals baseball. This kid is going to be so good.

Michigan, Michigan State, Illinois, Nebraska. Big Ten: 4-0 Pretty good basketball conference.

Matchups matter in the NCAA Tournament. Illinois got two great matchups in the Round of 64 and Round of 32. Illinois-Houston is going to be a war. I was wrong about Illinois, Sweet 16 bound! I-L-L!!!

Okay this is wild

David Mirkovic in Illinois' 105-70 win over Penn: 29 points 17 rebounds 3 assists 11-17 FG 4-7 3PT 3-4 FT

That was fun. Winning an NCAA Tournament game will be something I’ll never take for granted. Round of 32, here Illinois comes! I-L-L!

GO ILLINI
