Illinois can't get over the hump. Impressed with this Mocs team, they want it more.
Illinois leads for 30 seconds but survives and advances. Chattanooga had plenty of chances to put that away.

I sometimes get irritated when "we" complain about the refs, but that game was just a joke. The refs were clearly on the side of Illinois and stole the game from Chattanooga, although they admittedly didn't help themselves. That being said, I am dislike Illinois as much as Barkeep dislikes Bradley so there IS potentially some bias in my statement.
Illinois lucked out. Had UTC even shot a mediocre 35% and a wee bit better than 50% FTs, they win easily.
Illinois must play much better to beat Houston next round.
Disappointing first two days for mid-majors. We had our big upset with St. Peter's but not too much else.
@salukiworld I 🤔 you forgot about Richmond beating Iowa and New Mexico State beating UConn?
Both pretty shocking upsets, especially Iowa.

Nah. Fran cannot coach in March. I think he has once made it past the first weekend despite having some very talented teams over his tenure at Iowa
This is one of the most poorly officiated games I've ever seen

Iowa looked mighty good winning the Big 10 tourney, and Richmond just getting there was a shock - they were seeded 6th in A10 tourn. (behind SLU even). Most talking heads had Iowa in the Final 4.
Indiana NEVER should have been included in the NCAA Tournament. Probably knocked a mid-major out when they were added. I'm okay with all of the BIG schools getting knocked off, that being said, once the mid-majors are out of the tournament I am no longer interested. How's that for bias..... 😎

Think Rutgers was the team that shouldn't have been in. Had a few nice wins this year but were in the 70's for KenPom.
Creighton hanging with Kansas at halftime only play 6 players. Credit to McDermott, he's really improved as a coach these past few years.
