You are burning your money...UNC is good and they can beat you so many ways. 30 three pointers again for Illini?.....equals a big fat loss.

Thse games usually go to the better inside team and I think if May is on this team is going to be hard to beat......

Remember they won by 18 tonight and May must have missed 5 or 6 puppies right under the hoop in the first half........

Illinois also beat Mich State by double digits at East lansing, so using that game isn't gonna be a comparison. I still think Williams defense will be the match that lights this fire. Thats 2 games in a row he has shut down 2 of the best guards in the nation.

gee wonder who i like!?! Really though i've got to quote the immortal rick flair "to be the best you have to beat the best". I wanted to face illinois all year and we will get it. Surely should be a game to remember for a long time.

Saint, as a Carolina fan, I wanted to get here....but I wanted to face anyone but Illinois. I am looking forward to the game, but when it comes to NCAA tourney time, I root for Carolina and all the underdogs. I wish Carolina was playing The School For The Blind on Monday night.

Not me, it's the matchup I think most people wanted and me all along. Trust me I would not be too let down had we been facing a lesser team but I want illinois. They are top in my book and I want to see how the heels fair against them.

Never have really cared for and/or listened to anything you have said during my time here, BUT, for once I agree...seems like we are getting all the "most anticipated" championship games this year in NCAA sports, beginning with Oklahoma vs USC in foots...def a game I will be watching with the phone OFF so the women doesn't bother me while I enjoy this awesome match up

not to take away any credit from UNC and their impressive win last night, or their impressive perfomance over the course of the season, but when it comes down to it, they are a little too THUGGISH to be crowned national champs. in the end, Illinois will have more heart, and play better team ball. carolina has just a little too much thug in em. im burning money monday, i guess. hopefully the "public" has the same mentality as you (its over before it even started). although, i admit, im not sure how U of I will stop that fu*ckin May kid

I think turnovers will be one of the keys to the game. As you saw in the first half last night when carolina turns the ball over like they are prone to do teams can make runs on them. MSU lost last night when they only went into the break up 5, should have been more than that really. You guys saw what happens when unc turns the ball over 17 times when they struggled w/ Nova. On the other side Illinois has done a really good job taking care of the ball as of late. I think this will be a key category.

teams that have a tragedy always win. weber's mom passing will be milked by CBS and illinois will win. its a sad way to look at it but it always happens.

I hope the entire public thinks the same as you. I live in NC and they are extremely beatable and they have proven it this year more than once, which Illinois has only proven that they can be beaten once. A good coached team proves they are good in close games when it comes down to the wire and Illinois has proven they are a great team all year by winning those close games. Your statement that the Tarheels will win this game and you are burning your money if you bet on Illinois is completely assnine. If you don't think Illinois has a chance, you need to pull your head out of your ass and take a look at the regular season and see who beat Carolina and how. They are very beatable and Villinova should have beat them in the tourney but ran out of gas without their star player, but unlike a Carolina fan, they made no excuses and just admitted they got beat by a better team on that day. I never cared about the Tarheels before moving to Charlotte 15 years ago and I can't stand them because of their fans and their attitudes. Give me a break that Illinois has no chance, Santa Clara had no chance against them either, RIGHT!!!!! Once again, pull your head out of your ass and realize that both teams have athletes and this could go either way and should be a good game. It really makes me feel good when the general public full of dumbasses such as yourself are on the Tarholes though, so thanks.
GL & PEACE, HAIL :D

how did you like those gangster warmups with a hood. they got a blood gang member from la to design them. they have extra large velcro pockets that keep your piece from falling out when you do the layup drill.

Why, because you lost???


Um, no. Do you think this is the same UNC team today, the 2nd to last day of the season as it was on the 1st day? If you do I just don't get.

Now had you brought up the GT loss, the Duke loss, or the Wake lost it would have been a much better example.

Wow, since our players are black and wear the same types of hooded sweats as 75% of other teams they are thugs. Good stereotype there lowell.
