***Official 2026 NCAA Tournament Thread***

This IL-UH game reminds me of the T Tech loss at home. Their traps are not effective & just leading to open 3s by IL. Poor strategy match-up was well as physically. IL's length, ball handling/passing, & open shooting just too much for a challenged offensive Coug team.
 
How much you bet Illinois lays an egg this weekend?
nah. they're offense can withstand a defense like Houston/Iowa and their defense is much better.

Iowa would 100% beat Houston if Houston played like they did tonight. Illinois is a well oiled offense.

Houston just doesn’t have it tonight, not attacking, can’t shoot. Just bad matchup.

The thing is Illinois wasn’t playing that good in the first half either… They were shooting 34% but they’re gigantic… And they’ve got rebound in Houston and Houston wasn’t shooting very well.

And Michigan, who I think is the second best team in the country behind Arizona is even bigger and more athletic than Illinois
