So lose and it's over or win and it's over. Hooray.

Lowkey funniest guy in the tourney.

Corn power.

ILLINI ARE ELITE!

Then he misses free throws, lol.

Kylin Boswell lowkey huge for this game. Slowing the pace when Illinois gets rushed. Breaking the press. Senior leadership is huge. #Illini

Me, completely silent, so I don't wake up my wife and daughter while watching my Illini.

Dude off the bench is just unfair.

Literally the entire Illinois roster: Catch & Shoot 3s.

24 year old vs 19 year old.

Illinois defense obviously had to be better, but abandoning an offensive game play just to do what everyone else does is how you lose tournament games. That and missed free throws.

Illinois is supposed to be a historically good offense and their play calling in the last 4 min and OT was just Wagler dribbling the ball at the top and driving with 6 seconds left.

Brad has some serious introspection about his son's offense in late game situations. Ball just sticks in Wagler's hands and stops moving.

Flops-consin

I can't figure out why Illinois won't foul them hard. If you're going to hit them, make it hurt, don't just graze them.

Bam > Kobe

THERE'S A NEW SLAY THE SPIRE?! HOLD MY CALLS!

Can't catch a break for even a minute.

Illini bigs did not show up.

The Kobe hate in this thread gives me so much vindication arguing against my students that Kobe isn't a Top 10 all time player

The hero we deserve is Flavor Flav. ⏰

Fun fact, the term bombogenesis was first used before the invention of the Sega Genesis.

Complete dumpster fire after this.

Too soon.

Illini on a 20-0 run. 🔥 🔥 🔥

That and freshmen missing free throws 😂

And it's not like they were playing defense tonight anyway, so what was Petro going to hurt?

At this point, if I'm Petro, I'm entering the portal tonight. Brad clearly has no intention of playing him again.

Of all the dumb NCAA rules, this one may be the dumbest.
