Kelvin Sampson's Houston Cougars are showing everyone how to trap Big Kofi. Illini turning the ball over a lot! Houston up 21 -11 in the first half.
@ammo posted:He was lucky to get 4. Except for FT his shooting over the last month has been atrocious, deplorable and any other negative adjective you can think of. Problem is Gard has nobody better to put out there.
Even Davison's FT shooting has been spotty, the past month, or so. Hepburn's too!
Illini making a comeback,of sorts. Were down 12 but now trail by 6. 29-23. 30 seconds left in the half. Illini sink a three to end the half on a 10 -4 run. 30-26 at the half.
Turnovers in this half are killing Illinois.
Two huge plays by Fabian White, Jr add to Houston's lead!
Houston wins this one. Illinois's tournament hopes dashed. 68-53. Next up for Houston: Sweet 16 matchup with the winner of the TCU-Arizona game, in San Antonio.
Well coached, too! To think that The Badgers beat them early in the season.
Who wins? Michigan State or Duke? I give Duke the edge, but I've learned to never underestimate an Izzo coached team in March. No matter what, I'll be cheering on The Badgers today. GO BUCKY!!!
Big 10 not exactly burning up the NCAA , B U T the one that matters tees it up in 60 minutes..
F UM BUCKY !!!
Could be big 10 bloodbath today….tough games ahead
The game against Iowa State will be Wisconsin's 50th NCAA tournament game since Bo Ryan and Greg Gard arrived in Madison for the'01-02 season. That's fifty.
UW is 31-18 in the 49 already played
Somebody pinch me.....and remove any sharp items from the vicinity
Just noticed there are two transfers from Marquette on the floor tonight. Hauser for Michigan St and John for Duke. One of Coach K's assistants used to asst. coach at Marquette, too.

Yes, Indiana also lost in the first round, to St Mary's.
Tyler Wahl with the first two points of the game.
How does Davis not get any calls? He was fouled three times on that last drive.
A cold shooting start again today. That's asking for trouble. Iowa State is a lot better than Colgate.
5 fouls on Iowa St with 13:40 left in the half. Make it 6
Davison with a 3, to retake the lead. His 300th 3 pointer...

Ummmmm. Reputation?
@MichiganPacker posted:Can Jordan Davis leave after this year too?
I don’t want either one to leave……😢 wish they’d stay one more year at least.

Take his talent to Viterbo?

Just got one

He could come off the bench for them.

Yep. That should have been a jump ball.
Davis misses two FTs and then scores in transition!
