Illinois stuns Indiana
Illinois ends the game on a huge 13-2 run to defeat #1 Indiana, making a lay-up off of an inbounds play with .5 seconds left. Thought this deserved its own thread for the people who weren't following the Thursday night thread, and for a possible posbang to see Tom Crean and Home Depot eat it.

Such a weird resume. Makes sense with how tough the Big Ten is, but man were they playing above their heads OOC.

That was an awesome last play!!! I loved seeing the Illinois bench and the crowd go CRAZY!

I'm not superstitious about the #1 position, I just think there are 5 teams capable of being the best team in the country on any given night. There just isn't a clear-cut dominating team this year. This is going to be one of the most exciting NCAA tournaments in a while and not just because Michigan has an incredibly realistic chance to cut down the nets (although it sure helps).

This makes it harder for me to decide if I hold my nose Sunday and root for OSU at home vs. Indiana
February 7th, 2013 at 9:46 PM ^
Tough call but I'm going to root for Ohio. I disllike IU just a little bit more and would love to see them get another loss and Shehee annoys me like no other player.

Just think of it as rooting for Indiana to lose. That is the best outcome to help Michigan win the Big Ten.

Nice D Zeller, you ugly bastard

I absolutely love half of the reactions in this thread. "I don't even wanna be #1 again! That's asking to be knocked off! How frustrating would that be?!"
If you were to tell any Michigan basketball fan at the beginning of last season that we would be having this conversation, they'd laugh at us. It's crazy to see how far they've come to toy around with the question: "We're #1 again, is that a good thing?"

The first was v. Arizona. (down by 8, 1 minute to go)

On a side note, I just realized Wisconsin only has to play us and Indiana once each. What a joke.
February 7th, 2013 at 10:01 PM ^
Maybe so, but Wiscy having only one game with us means one less game we're forced to watch them in (in)action
February 7th, 2013 at 9:52 PM ^
The Big Ten is goddamn brutal this year.

Don't get me wrong. Big men are important. They get rebounds and score in the paint. Some even lead their team in scoring. But they rarely decide the game like guards do.
If IU were down by 1 with 10 sec left, who gets the ball, Oladipo or Zeller?

That clown has been a Michigan hater since the Fab 5. You kinda lose all credibility when you ignore a team's performance and base your "rankings" on your own bizarre evaluation of a team's bigs. I hate that fucking guy. If the networks wanted to really screw with Michigan fans, they could have Bill Walton & Dick Vitale call the Michigan v. MSU game with Ted Valentine and Ed Hightower.
February 7th, 2013 at 9:58 PM ^
Let's beat Wisconsin on Saturday and reclaim #1!!!

Might as well get used to the pressure. Michigan will probably be no worse than a 2 seed come tourney time. They got to get used to people gunning for them!
February 7th, 2013 at 10:10 PM ^
Tonight is just further proof that the Big Ten tourney is going to be crazy. What a weekend that will be.

@ NW, @Minn and @UI looking much better now. Reminder of the fact that we have two exceptionally difficult games facing us.
February 7th, 2013 at 11:02 PM ^
I was watching and saw they were down 11 with just over 3 minutes left, thought it was over. Was wrong. What are we drinking?

Just shows that any team in the B1G can light it up any given night. What a comeback!
February 7th, 2013 at 11:13 PM ^
Hopefully we learn from some of these upsets at come out and play our best game!

Go check out @champaign_room on twitter. He's cracked; fallen madly in love with Tyler Griffey, as well as everyone else. Hilarious stuff.
