@@Starrynova ROFL. That is the difference between programs like Illinois and UNC. UNC contends for Final Fours and National Titles on a consistent basis whereas Illinois contends for Sweet 16s and Elite 8s every 15-20 years lol.
@@royalnpoison1547 4 of the starters on Elite UNC played in the Final Four with maybe the most anticipated hyped college basketball matchup ever with Duke in the National Semi Finals last year and eventually in the National Championship game.

Illinois has still yet to prove they can make the Final Four since their only Final Fours were in 1989 and 2005 since 1952.
Great win tonight. Got to clean up the turnovers tho. Come tournament time you can't beat yourself. This team will make a big run in the NCAA tournament.
Great work Illini. Really dang impressive TEAM I is all 5. Plus secret sauce is boss. Keep up the excellent work. Unbelievable the confidence and poise you men have. Good work coach, wish I could join you to help but wow. Relax, soak it up. Then back to work..keep the keeper going 5 strong all day n night long. Jr. Stone.
Sincere Harris’ putback layup at the 8 min mark in second half to cut the lead to 8 was the game-winning play imo. We had missed two free throws then immediately gave up a wide open layup to go down 10. If he doesn’t put that back and Texas comes down and score again and it’s 12 or 13 point deficit, game over.
bwhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Illinois has not even made the Sweet 16 since 2005 and has never won a NCAA National Championship. Sorry, but Illinois is not an elite program.

Bro, how they not calling that travel at 2:07 on coleman. Real illini fan but missing traveling being a no no in basketball. Euro step is elongated two steps. Bro took 4 euro steps. They even show a replay and dont call it out.. kids, you only get 1 and a half steps in basketball. Not 4.
I get that the Illini coming into the season was bit of a unknown with all the transfers and freshman. They have played a tough schedule and will be getting better as the season progresses. But that #17 ranking is BS. Disrespectful in fact. They should at least be in the top 8. I can see these 2 teams playing again deep in March.
They're a 2 loss team, maybe a few spots up in the rankings, but top 8? How do you justify putting them ahead of Maryland (currently #13 @ 8-0) that they lost to? At any rate, they should definitely get a boost up the ladder after the Texas win.

@@isaiahsherman2199 What's so funny?
Then they laid an egg vs Penn State. Still have a LOT of work left to do.
And then turn around and lose to maryland lol, team has power but they need consistency.

And the Virginia game too.
Puck Illinois their sissy cowards.

Illinois looks like a final four contender if they clean up the turnovers

Refs tried their best to give Texas this one
Honest question, did that shot look like goaltending? I may be blind, but it looked like he obviously tipped the ball before it hit the backboard
It wasn’t goaltending. Refs just did a terrible job all night.
Definitely was goal tending
