last year, my pick for overcoming expectations was northwestern. this year, it was illinois.

my pick for next year is ttun.

Illinois has given up 31 points in under 10 minutes. Lykes is cooking. At least the Illini found some good looking uniforms.

 

[DZ83CK]

Brad Underwood had used all four timeouts with 5:20 left in the first half.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

27-point deficit down to 5 with 6 to go.

I love the ACC-B1G Challenge. It is always greatly entertaining every season. I even like the Monday appetizer games. If the leagues had even numbers, it would be perfect.

Illinois mounts a massive comeback, only to be thwarted by last-possession hero ball by Dosunmo.

i don't get it. you're down 1 and get the defensive rebound with 17 seconds left. so what do you do? you lollygag with the ball only to start a drive so late that it would leave you only a second or two if a shot goes up.

Dude pretty much tried to straight drive into 2 guys after not much action. Terrible possession when it mattered most. Maybe running out of timeouts in the first half wasn't a great idea.

what's worse? bleeding the clock and driving recklessly when you're down one or a 23-footer when you're tied?

answer: they're both worse.

on the downside this sets the B1G back in the Challenge in a game the conference should have won, on the plus side Illinois fans are intolerable so I am going to read their boards and nod with satisfaction.

 

[DZ83CK]

Lol. Gophers keep Oturo out there a long time with 2 fouls the first half, and he gets his 3rd on a screen.

 

[DZ83CK]

Clemson getting blown out at Minnesota. Now you see what happens when they finally play somebody! Gophers playoff chances get a boost.

I haven't tuned in to basketball much yet, so would somebody please explain to me how tsun went from unranked to 4th in the country. Was there some groundswell of pity votes due to the ass raping they took on Saturday?

Looks like the beat Gonzaga and UNC in back to back games, both of whom are top 10

Tuned in to watch #1 vs #4 and all I'm seeing is some brick layers building another tower on The Galt House Hotel.
