After further review of the game, that was the worst performance by an Illini team in the NCAA tourney since they lost to Dayton in 1990. The gameplay in this win was worse than any actual loss they’ve suffered since 1990.
Illinois was far worse last night than the Loyola game. If they had played a Loyola caliber team, they’d have lost by 20.
Chattanooga did show the country the blueprint on handling Illinois offense. Foul Kofi and run the 3 shooters off the line
Still pissed about this game. Hate when a favored team gets an undeserving win. Not that Chatt was good (they sucked too) but if you lead by 14 in 1st half, 11 in 2nd half, and for all by about 30 seconds of the game, you should win.
It was nearly a carbon copy of the Loyola game where Illinois never lead.
