Well.. I definitely wouldn't rather lose... that's for sure.

 

And with our entire team returning next year, I won't be surprised to see him back and get one more chance.

 

 

As for todays game, I'm nervous as hell.

Unbelieveable!! Iowa pulls off the stunna over Michigan State!!!

 

Looks like the Big Ten is in great shape to get 5 bids....

YEA BABY!!!!!!!!

 

what a great game that was.. one of the more physical of the year

 

 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great performance by Iowa, I'm impressed.

 

They gotta be in now IMO.

BTW, I would expect that the Illini will be without Head Coach Bruce Weber for tomorrow and Sunday if we win tomorrow, as his mother passed away earlier this evening .

Well.. we're still on the bubble..

 

Some good wins over Louisville, Michigan State, Texas, Texas Tech, Iowa State, Northern Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana and Ohio State.

 

Hopefully we have enough juice to do something tomorrow..

 

Go Ohio State!!!

Well either way, that game ended whatever hopes Indiana had left, as that puts Iowa ahead of Indiana on the totum pole, and no chance the Big Ten gets 6.

i cant believe MSU lost.

michigan state is gonna blow by iowa.

Illinois creams NU

Indiana beats The Gophers by a dozen or so

Wisconsin defeats Ohio State in a easy fashion

Michigan State handles Iowa by like 15.

MSU is horrendous in significant games, I can't say i'm surprised all that much by Iowa beating them in the BTT.

We were up 30 when we called off the dogs......:plain

 

And Minnesota beat Indiana, so really your 1 for 3.

ok fine u make a good point...and sorry im in phase 2 math (the lowest one) so i cant count.

 

Does 2 + 2 still = 2?

Stop Iowa.....

 

I thought that you guys had a chance.....I didn't think that you'd take advantage of it.....

 

congrats...

Thanks bud

 

We're still not shoe-ins though.. thats for sure. We definitely have to make a strong showing tomorrow. It's going to be an anxious selection Sunday for Hawkeye Fans, to say the least.

:banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead

Illinois has some matchup problems with Minnesota.. Smith or Augustine won't be able to guard big ol Hagen.. And IL doesnt match up well with Grier either..

 

This could be an interesting game.

That was the worst half we've played all year, and we're up 6. I hope Coach reads them the riot act in the locker room.

Illini pick up a hard fought win 64-56 over Minnesota. Good lord we turned the ball over a lot, hopefully we pick it up tomorrow in the final.

 

Glad we won that one for Bruce too, hopefully that helps him even just a little bit in this tough time for him.

Wisky up 27-26 at the half on Iowa in a defensive struggle.

Wilkinson gives Wisconsin a 56-54 lead on Iowa, timeout Iowa with 27 seconds left.

 

Another great finish.

Brunner tips in the Haluska 3 point miss to tie it up with only 3 seconds left, timeout Wisconsin.

OH MY!!!

 

TUCKER BANKS IN A 3 TO WIN IT AT THE BUZZER!!!!

heartbreaking

 

this showing should get us in the tournament no matter what, IMHO

Yeah I agree. Losing on a lucky bank shot at the buzzer from 25 feet like that shouldn't hurt you.
