***Round of 32 - Sunday Games Thread***

yeah but a 2 seed and a 8 seed is a big difference. That’s was my point. San Diego st. Would be another example. The facts are Loyola is substantially under seeded

Were you up in arms about it when the bracket was announced?
 
This looks like northern Iowa vs us in 2010. We zombie walked through the game, northern Iowa was seeded higher than they should have and we got faroukmaneshed. Illinois about to be kutwiged

Well KU kept it much closer, was in the game until that dagger three. Illinois, not so much, they were down double digit early and never had a chance to win this one at all. Tbh I want them to make a run whether they win or not, just to make the ending a bit more interesting. But seems that, we will have garbage time with 2-3 mins left to play already.
 
If we lose to Oral Roberts and Mike White blows this opportunity he should be fired on the spot.

Nah it will be a 20pts blowout win for Florida. Florida and UCLA are the two safe picks in this round, you dont see 14-15th seeds going any further unless they are FGCU and playing a terrible tournament team.

Um in the game against them it was an 8 pt game at half, northern Iowa was up 10 with 6 minutes to go. We didn’t make it a game until the under 4 timeout. But never lead the entire game. This game looks exactly like that one.

Tbh Id be surprised if Illinois cuts this one to a 1pt game at any point in the 2nd half. KU choked, they aint prepared for the game and played into Northern Iowa's hands. Illinois, I aint sure if they actually choked or not, they just got outclassed and it feels like the better team won today.

This is a really good Illinois team about to go down. March at its finest!

If they go down so early, then they just aint good enough. They did lose 6 games in the season though, they got hot at the end of the regular season but seems the streak just ends at a very wrong time.
 
Really gotta wonder why they didn't go with a relentless press at least off and on. Loyola looked a little shaky dribbling that one up.
