Maybe you could reenact it during timeouts!

Say, does this mean you'll be on the TV?

Beyond pathetic turnout at HAA. 90% of the crowd Illini fans. Sea of orange here. Feels like we're in Champaign. Didn't know there were that many in Boston area.

A) What else do folks in Urbana have to do?

B) Ehh. The crowd looks like the crowds in '88. And we made the NCAAs that year.

C) That first 5 minutes had me nervous. Doing well since then!

D) Where's mookie?!?

Pretty entertaining game. Shot much better except for FTs. Look forward to next season.

Those B10 alums are everywhere. Went to the NCAA regional in Boston a couple of years ago and was shocked at how many OSU & Wisconsin fans were there.

My biggest confusion with Midwest schools is that the greyiing and/or balding middle aged men chant/yell more than the students do.

I was surprised b/c I always thought of Illinois as having mostly a regional presence in its home area (more like Iowa, Minnesota) than the national presence a Michigan, OSU, or Wisconsin has.

You mean the creepy middle aged guy in 113 constantly standing yelling I-L-L!!! I-N-I!!! rather incoherently?

Had same observation on the Michigan & MSU trip...

Would have been nice to see BU pull out a win there. Go Harvard this weekend I guess. No reason not to root for the local schools from Massachusetts in hoops since the Eagles are not even remotely competitive in the sport.

Except that I picked the Crimson to lose in my pool. If they win I am screwed since I have Cincinnati going to the FF!

It sure was sad looking at all those empty seats on TV. I would have been there, but I had my Little League draft. They looked good before I had to leave. #WiltedDownTheStretch

Switching to hockey: Who ya rootin' for this weekend?

And you're about to hire a coach who bombed that last time he coached a "big time" program. Good luck with that.
