Sunday men’s tournament open thread
Fighting Sister Jean’s looking good early against Illinois!
I'm sure Illinois figures even if they lose they can just write a letter stating they are actually the real National Champions. Can't lose baby!
Lol. Hopefully they know by now writing letters does not win championships.
No matter how this one turns out, truly impressed with Loyola, their effort, and focus. Did not see Illinois being challenged this early. Goes to show you never know in March Madness.
Honestly I thought that because Baylor hasn't been the same since their COVID outbreak, that Loyola was the second best team on the whole right side of the bracket.
Wtf Illinois?
Ayo picked the wrong day to have a bad game.?
He is a whiny one. Not a good look Ayo
Big Ten may not have any 1 seeds after Monday.
^^^Boo this man!
I’m just mad my bracket going to shit because I weighed heavily on the big ten being good.
Ugh, the embarrassing B1G losses continue.
Who the hell's embarrassed?!
Michigan vs Loyola in the finals, what do you think guys?
That’s my bracket
Wow illini cant get the stops they need
Illinois losing only puts more pressure on the other #1 seed from the B1G not to shit the bed tomorrow....
This game is OVAAAA
Ayo can’t make a lefty layup. Sad.
Missed layup and easy and-1 on the other end. Beautiful exchange.
Cockburn absolutely gassed
He really is. Sweating like Trump in a spelling bee.
Yeah, and he looks even worse on defense than he normally is. The guy has the slowest feet I've seen in a big man in awhile. He usually is poor on rotating to the ball too.
Sister Jean's prayers are being answered!
Dosunmu and Cockburn are definitely exhausted. And Hunter will need to work out with Krutwig during the offseason to learn some of those Old Man Game moves.
Looks like Bill Laimbeer out there.
Looks the B1G runner up is bounced in the first weekend
Michigan better bring their A game tomorrow or else....
LSU is no joke.
Curbelo and Kofi walked and they call a foul on them? Lmao
Krutwig Oooop tip!!!
Brad Underwood very unhappy right now
holy shit! i'm stealing that. it is a dead ringer.
Omg THAT'S why his face is...familiar.
That is one ugly lady, so is Brad!
Luc clowning on em
This has been no fluke, Loyola has played way better and led the whole game, final minutes coming up...
Illinois looks tired.
This game is reminiscent of Villanova-Georgetown.
Can’t spell Illinois with LoL.

(works for Loyola so I am covered either way)
Loyola needs to switch it up and stop hedging because they are gonna go to Kofi the rest of the game and he’s gonna live at the line. I’d have Krutwig play him straight up
Edit...I agree with your point, sorta misread
or die from the line. IL lucky he is making them right now.
Is Kofi getting good at FTs?! Yeesh
Cute story this Loyola team has been. But that small white kid playing PG just has that type of face you want to punch. Very similar to the Illinois dude with the afro.
I’ve yet to see them talk any trash or him to do anything dirty at all. Let’s hate him because he’s a talented white kid?
Y'all are WAY TOO sensitive today. Settle down.
Maybe IL should have spent less time bitching about ‘co-B10 Champs’ and worried more about the tournament.
They aren’t even the champ of their own state
I mean...Illinois is kind of an asshole so I don’t mind this.
The media is already shitting on the B1G for the Ohio State loss. Plus, nobody is picking Michigan to go far in the tournament at all so I think it’s ok to enjoy this.
Plus, you know....Illinois inventing their own conference championship and everything? You still banging your chests over that now?
Krutwig playing at the top of the key reminds me of how Beilein used McGary to breakdown Syracuse's defense...
really impressed with this old man game though... doesn't look like a dude that can ball like that!
