Loyola is currently a 1.5 point dog.

This is an interesting one. The giant-killers aren't playing a giant. They're playing themselves.

That said, Loyola pulls it out in a 12-round brawl. Bruce Weber takes a swing at Mosier.

Hilarious how U of I would probably kill to get Bruce Weber back now.

RPTSD vibe. You guys are just jealous that the Illini signed a guy who is basically the Tom Brady of high school quarterbacks.

Should be a great game tonight....

I'm not a huge college baseball fan. I have no favorite team. I casually follow the tournament. I do take interest in seeing U of I atheltics fail miserably and their fans shit themselves. That is fun.

I remember how they(fans) just lambasted Weber during his U of I days. It's hilarious because they have downgraded to a couple of bums since firing him.

Loyola the story of the year!

Think Loyola might be a story for a few more days...

Nahhhh.. won’t hear a word about them

Never in my wildest dreams would I have guessed Loyola would be in the Final Four. This is surreal. It's crazy that their regular season would probably not have been good enough for them to get in the tournament.

biggest Chicago sports story in decades. Unlike the Cubs, they didn't solve their problems by just throwing a bunch of money at them. This story is legit.

Uh, no. Weber can suck on a tailpipe, just like he did again against Loyola.

Doubtful unless the signing bonuses can match the power 5 schools.

Illini just lost Finke and Lucas. Hope Underwood has some transfers coming in....

He's the best you have ever had..(since Henson at least)

oh without a doubt!

But just wait....this current guy will get things rolling soon.

There were two pretty good coaches in between

Why are you so anti-Illini, RPTSD? You seem cool otherwise. Just wait 'til Lovie gets rollin'.

Must be the bobby knight fan in me.

That makes sense.

Finke sucked. We will see what he has as a replacement. Black is a big loss.

That is asinine. Lon Kruger got the ball rolling and Weber won with Self's guys before fucking the program over with bad recruiting. Kruger and Self far better than Weber.

Agreed, especially about Finke, who brought nothing to the court. No D, no inside game, not rebounds.....

He can go play with his bother for Majerle at Colangelo U. Man, did his brother fall down the rankings his senior year.
