Down goes Gonzaga.

Creighton joins Marquette and Gonzaga. 

The last time the Jesuits had that bad a day they were suppressed in France.

Brad Underwood just looks like the biggest a hole.

I’ve always thought the same but the guy can flat out coach and recruit.

[White Pelican]

I never gave any thought to Brad Underwood's looks but everyone on here seems to not like them. So I just googled him (I know who he is and what he looks like) and clicked on images. The funny thing is, the first four or so rows of pics, he's got his mouth open, he's mad, and he's yelling at players/refs/whomever.

And I know how we don't like coaches who yell at refs and players. Anyway, to me, he just looks like an insurance salesman or an old-school Chicago Bears linebacker.

I'd take him as a coach in a heartbeat.

Google must be wondering why people are searching for images of Brad Underwood. I just did and I have to say his wife appears to be quite attractive, so he’s got that going for him… which is nice.

Carrie Underwood? Nice legs on Mrs. Underwood.

Coaches who yell and win get a pass.  Coaches who yell and lose get trashed for yelling as if the yelling is why they're losing.

Illinois letting all bunnies free for easter.

[Lord Elrond]

Illinois laying a massive egg. How can you have a shooting line of 21/15/25 overall in the second half of a game?

[HoosierPal]

30 to 0 run. That is unbelievable. How bad are the Illini? Or is UConn that good?

[Slu let the dogs out?]

UCONN currently on a 28-0 run. No one is stopping them this tournament. 

EDIT: my streaming service is slower than Hoosier’s

UConn is the best team since...?

At least the 2006-07 Florida squad, right? 

[dlarry]

I think T-Ford gave the Illini a half time speech.

Hey Wiz, did your computer have anything to predict regarding the Illini vs UConn? My goodness.

Really impressive run. Especially when you look at how they dominated the tournament last year, see who they lost from that roster (Sanogo, Hawkins, Jackson, Calcaterra, and Alleyne), and watch how they are dominating the tournament again this season albeit going in as the favorite this spring.

Probably since the 90-91 UNLV team. It didn’t end well for them.  The UNLV team the year before was pretty damn good, too.

Update: Final Four. With the end of year Medley at point, the Bills would’ve had a Final Four team scalp!!

The computer thought the Illini were lucky to beat Ia St.

Illni vs UConn?  The computer said ...No  Champagne
