The last game was much closer for Wisc-Mil than U of I. Not that it really matters where they play considering they just win every fuckin game they play, home, away,or nuetral. Just becuase the Big East, which for some reason you care about so much and are all about conference power cant do shit in the tourney, and your team, BC, ended up being about a third as good as everyone expected doesnt mean that you need to cary your personal vandetta against Illinois any further, its quite ridiculous. Did everyone on the llinois team fuck your mother or something?

Wisconsin's road to the elite eight is Northern Iowa, Bucknell, and NC State? Come on.
Michigan St's road to the elite eight consists of Old Dominion and Vermont?
or even Boston College losing to Wisc-Mil.

Things just fell the Big Tens way. You think that I have this hatred and root against them at all costs. Thats just not true. I am in the midwest more than I am in the northeast, and being that I see a lot of college basketball from both regions, I can vouge for whom is better.

So again, you can continue trying to bust my balls, it really isn't working.

I care about my team and to be honest I hate every other team in the Big 10. Its almost like someone saying, "oh yeah you might live in the most sucessful country (US) but my continent (Europe) is way better overall, therefore the US must really suck, or something like that.

Anyways, its Illinois and UNC on Monday. Just what I had in my bracket. If it goes to UNC I win, but theres no money in our group, just bragging rights. If Illinois wins, I'm done, but I'll be happy in knowing that a team from my State won Or what used to be my state

Was definitely a great game... Illinois was always just close enough to smell it, but couldnt quite pull it off. Regardless, if they'd played in the 2nd like they had in the first, they would have pretty much destroyed North Carolina. Ah well, my bracket won.

Bittersweet...
