February 7, 200521 yr Illinois and UNC, I have come to the conclusion that UNC is the better team how Illinois beat Indiana by a mere 13 points is beyond me. Indiana's best player, Bracey Wright did not play in the game as for 4 freshmen started for the Hoosiers. The zone the Hoosiers plays really shut down Illinois for the most part. I was more impressed with UNC's play(against Wright and in Bloomington) than the Illini and discuss :hat
February 7, 200521 yr Illinois played horrible and still won by 13.. Deron Williams scores 1 lousy point and has 11 dimes.. The guards all struggled in that game aswell. Cmon now.. Illinois cant play in a half-court offense.. That's the way to try and beat Illinois but that hasnt happened so who knows if that actually works because you have to execute it for 40 minutes and that wont happen.. They win the blowouts, They win the close games, They win the games that your trailing in late in the 2nd half, They win when they dont even play good by double digits, They win when they shot 32% in games.. Plain and simple, They WIN!!!

Indiana played that way against both teams and I fee like UNC managed it a little better. just one nukka's opinion
February 7, 200521 yr Indiana blows and Illinois was clearly overlooking them, but at the same time I still think UNC would be the favorite if we played them, they are as loaded with talent as any college hoops team since the old UNLV teams IMO.

February 7, 200521 yr Whats great about CBB is that the talk about whos better between illinois and unc can be laid to rest on the court, unlike in CFB where a poll decides the champion
