Moser is a good coach but it's taken him over a decade to build this program. Count me out for 57-52 wins over TCU in Hilton every year.

His style would be a horrible fit for Iowa State.

On the plus, he'd at least beat TCU in Hilton.

I've forgotten what that's like

Illinois guard just stiff armed a Loyola player in the face with non-ball hand and acted shocked at the foul.

He was lucky it wasn't a tech. Would have been auto reviewed in nba.

I've watched a lot of the tournament and seems like this year they aren't calling the fouls as closely as in prior years.

They continue to undervalue mid-majors. They always have.

It's possible Loyola is closer to a 6 seed, and BYU should've been a 7 or 8.

I am pretty sure that Loyola was underseeded - Tracy Morgan

Ohio gave some signals they could do damage too.

They continue to undervalue mid-majors. They always have.

It doesn't help that when mid-majors do get the respect they deserve they tend to get upset themselves in the Tournament (thinking back to 5-seeded Drake several years ago now).

I feel like I'm watching Gryffindor play basketball.

Every soccer fan in europe is shocked and appalled by this.

I'm aware. Just having some fun

Loyola keeps making tough shot after tough shot. They make it so hard to come back after they get a lead. Illinois is definitely talented enough to come back in this game, but it will not be easy.

 

[HFCS]

Loyola is more offensively prepared and efficient so far than super invincible Illinois team.

Illinois is playing really hard but not as smart or efficient. They aren't down from lack of effort.

Yep. They're playing Loyola's game and Loyola is better at it than them. Classic 2000s Valley ball.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Every time Illinois thinks they're going to get back in the game, Loyola ends up stretching it instead.

Does anyone know if Coke has other flavors?

Every game that goes by, I get the feeling Iowa is going to make the Final 4.

Every Big10 game that goes by, I get the feeling that the league may have been overrated.
