The devil on my shoulder wants Iowa v Illinois for the laughs.

Won't be easy, home game for Houston and this seems like an Underwood piss down the leg spot.

Houston should be able to beat them both, but we'll see.

Houston doing that thing they do so often. Not score at all.

15 points may as well be 40 for this Houston team.

Unless you plan on shutting teams out, maybe Sampson will realize he needs guys that put the ball in the hoop. Seems he’s forgotten one side of basketball.

He's got a couple dudes, but obviously Illinois has got them taking shots they're not good at. I was not expecting Illinois to win this game, so it's surprised me how flat Houston has fallen offensively.

Cougs cut it to 9, then gave up an offensive rebound.

Things Sampson’s teams rarely do. Illinois got a big 3 pointer and that’s a wrap on this one.

Illinois should hold on here and we'll have an all-B1G regional final in the South with the Illini vs. Iowa. That guarantees one B1G team in the Final Four.

Meanwhile, Coach Cal's Razorbacks have given up 100 points with more than 5 minutes remaining.

I'm old enough to remember when we shit on the SEC for shit like this
