UConn was content to do what Iowa did and make #Illini beat them inside. To win that way, Illinois had to dominate the offensive glass, win second-chance points and create turnovers to get more possessions. Instead they were:
+2 offensive rebounds
-4 second-chance points
-6 3FG made
-4 turnovers

Illini gave that game away. Needed more 3's and our big men couldn't rebound for crap. #illini

Disappointing night, but great season.
Went into March doubting I’d watch my team play in a Sweet 16, and I watched them play in a Final Four.
I’m doing… pretty okay, actually.

Tough loss for the #Illini tonight. A couple of first-half shots looked good, but rimmed out. Great season though!

UCONN deny Illini a championship game appearance, as the Huskies win 71-62. Between my Arsenal being eliminated by Southampton 2-1 in the FA Cup and this, it's a sad day.
Dan Hurley is such a prick, and I hope his team loses. #Illini #FinalFour #MarchMadness
🤬🤬🤬😥😥😥😥

It was a good run by the #Illini — they went further than I expected based on the way they were playing at the end of the season, but found new life in their gameplay. They just didn’t have it today, though. It’s a simple fact that you can’t win if you can’t hit your shots. Still proud of this team!

How far out into the court is the UConn coach going to step? He was practically part of the last play!
Let’s go, #Illini!

Underwood just burned his last timeout after the Wagler three. That’s something to potentially monitor here. #Illini

Silas Demary Jr. getting that offensive rebound just sent #illini Brad Underwood into a caniption. Braylon Mullins hits a dagger of a three.

Keaton Wagler hasn't shot it well (1-for-7 three), but he's been physical and fearless on his drives. He's got 17 points and is 5-for-6 from two.
#illini down 63-59 with 1:38 left.
