Illinois got so lucky/looked so bad/poorly coached

For the first 23 minutes of that game they looked absolutely lost.  Some of the worst basketball I have ever seen.  Cockburn is so damn lazy sometimes.  It was like 17 minutes left in the second half when they finally showed some life.  Talk about not getting up for a game.  FYI , no I did not have Illinois -8, i had it teased down to pickem, so I am not talking shit about them because of a betting loss.  I just legitimately couldnt believe how bad they were

Chattanooga has a really good coach.  They had a rotation going on cockburn, ended up intentionally having the little guy ajayi in the rotation foul out first before bringing back de sousa, still cockburn had good numbers because he is a bigfoot compared to these dudes, but still really well coached.  Illinois got a gift.  See what they do with it next round.  

Good season for Nooga,  they were pretty good to me ATS when I rolled with them.  Thankfully against Furman had ML instead of laying the 2.  Good squad.  Great coach.  

They play that game against Illinois 100 times and nooga could win 50 of em,  maybe more.

 The harlem globetrotter on the team was making plays, (turnovers).  Needs to get his game under control.

then fade them Sunday 

They will prolly win with ease on Sunday cuz that is how fixed these games are... Just like with ND, people said they were gonna get smoked by Bama since they struggled to beat Rutgers yet the opposite happened 

To be fair they played awful. My one gripe with underwood was coming out in 2H without curbello on court. 

I'm from Illinois and I can't see them going to much further in this tournament.There is gonna be some team smart enough to go right at Cockburn from the get go,and get him in early foul trouble.And I believe Illinois will struggle to find somebody else who can carry the scoring.Their a pretty average team without Cockburn.

@jtoler

 that's how he has been all season. Truly inconsistent and for every 3-4 good plays 5-6 bad. But at times he's the only one who can create for them.
