Marcus Domask and Illinois to the Sweet 16:
22 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds
Lance Jones and Purdue try to join him tomorrow.
Marcus Domask and Illinois are on to the Elite Eight
If Illinois hits their FTs like normal, that game isn't so close. Didn't shoot outside shots great either.
They can beat UConn but must shoot it better. Happy for Marcus.
I think Purdue will be there too.
Nice interview by Andy Katz of Marcus after the game.
What a game!! TSJ saves the day!
Shannon is a heck of a player. I was shocked he was only 3rd team all-American. Don't believe there are 10 better college players in the country.

They will have to do a lot more than just shoot it better to beat UConn. But they do match up with them better than most. I read somewhere that over the last 2 years UConn has played one single digit game against non conference opponents, tournament included

I think the outcome was somewhat influenced by his legal involvement earlier this year. He should've been a lock for first team, in my opinion.
@sportsfreak75 I concur.
It had to play a role because the stats he put up this season were amazing. All while missing six games for suspension.
I believe he's using that snub as fuel for fire because since that list came out he's played like a man possessed!
TSJ is the best offensive player in the country, he was definitely snubbed IMO.
Happy for Marcus. Hate me but I would love a Purdue v. Illinois final 😋

I would watch that.
--Insert something witty here--
UConn vs Illinois has potential to be the best game of the tourney or most entertaining. Not an Illini fan but rooting for Domask…..Illinois has looked really good this postseason.
Jones with 12 points on 5-7 shooting against Gonzaga in the first half. He's been carrying Purdue with Edey.
