Bad refs for both side, kudos to Illinois nonetheless

Go fighting illini.proud of my school
They must be using the WNBA refs….๐๐
Maybe Iowa can get a driving guard like Illinois has this year. Very, very weak performance by the Iowa TEAM tonight. A couple of guys shined. The rest of them looked like they were just happy they got to play one more game— not to win. Very disappointing. This was national TV, guys. That all you had in your quivers? Jeesh
That's my first time seeing #14 for Iowa He should be in the League.. straight up!
The Big Orange Machine..keeps on Rolling ๐ช๐ผ

Not surprised . Iowa ALWAYs CHOKES in big games. They need to not be given big stages they flop everytime
The corn fell off the cob
Stirtz is incredible. But didn't want it enough obviously.
Iowa losing. you just absolutely love to see it
Illinois is capable of winning the whole the thing.
Any day an Illinois team wins against an Iowa Hawkeye team itโs a great day.
The reffing in this game was awful in the 2nd half, they started calling every little thing and everyone was flopping around like a fish. Illinois couldn't hit a 3 to save their grandmother and just kept Angel Reesing their own misses. Boring bludgeon ball.
I hate seeing a college team like Illinois only get one year together with a squad like that. You finally get chemistry, everyone clicking, and then boomโtheyโre off to the league. Wish we could see teams like that run it back at least one more season.
Wagler, Mirkovic, and Stojakovic have carried the team through the tournament. Boswell, Davis, and Humrichous haven't shown up! T. Ivisic needs to quit shooting threes and get to the paint for alley-oops….. Great D by most of the team.
college basketball is making a comeback
Illinois owned the glass, this could have been a blowout had we not been hitting 3s…hats off to the ILLINI…NO GO WIN IT ALL
For people who say we're in the Final Four just because we got an easier path… Duke almost lost to a 16-seed. And sure, they beat up TCU, but they barely beat St. Johns, as well.
We haven't scraped by in ANY round up to this point.
We beat Penn by 35, a red-hot and resilient VCU team by 21, a Houston team led by great coaching and guys who CONSISTENTLY make the Final Four by 10, and now, a team who went huge against such tough competition in their first rounds to get to us. Credit to the Hawkeyes for a valiant effort, but we pulled away towards the end and still beat them by 12.
Unlike Duke, everybody we played got cooked by double digits, so don't think it's some crazy fluke upset if we beat them or UConn, because it definitely isn't.
The way this team is playing right now, they really could go all the way.
Dueces Iowa ๐โ๐ฝ
ILLINIVIC!
