Illinois played fantastic hedge defense on the screens, thing of beauty IMO. Bigs force Larkin wide all game, and screener never sealed or rolled. Anywho, Larkin is a fucking stud.

I agree, I don't think it was as much a case as Miami playing below their typical level but that Illinois played them very tough.
Larkin is just one of those guys that decides he won't let his team lose and he can take over the game. They're beatable but with their upperclassmen they will be a tough out.
Can't wait for that Marquette-Miami game, should be a battle of the guards. Think Marquette matches up well with those guys. The east has the top 4 seeds still alive, you don't see that too often...
