Illinois is an incredible team, I hope they bring their best against UConn who has looked unbeatable.

Illinois' Shannon looking like a top ten NBA first round pick.

Illinois has had to grind it out against a great defensive team in Iowa State. But, in order to take down the defending national champions, they must rebound the ball by committee, get high percentage shots and more importantly, make their free throws

[CaucasiansSuck]

All those missed free throws started to worry me. I’m glad they didn’t let that bother them and stuck it out. Good win. Let’s takedown UConn next.

Illinois is holding it down for the Big Ten Conference in the NCAA Tournament.

[rodrigocortes]

Dainja has been a plus for the Illini in this tournament. Without him I don’t think they make it this far.

I'm happy we made it to the elite 8 win or lose I'm proud of the the guys and Brad underwood

[jasonbileck]

You should be proud. Hawkins has had his ups and downs and he's showing how good he can be. Cali love from a guy who once lived in San Diego

[HandlesHaon]

Amazing game. Time to prepare for UConn and give them all of our firepower, as well as rebound and make more free throws while maintaining that distinct explosiveness that we have
ILLINI 🧡💙

Finally got back to The Elite 8. My Fighting Illini still gotta play better to get by UConn.

[bulls]

Congrats to Iowa State for having the #1 ranked defense all year long and showed today. But the Illini play good defense as well

Now Illinois face the UCONN in the Elite Eight regardless of the outcome of Saturdays game it’s a successful season.

Let’s put on a show on Saturday #goillinigo #elite8

illinois is a very exciting team with a brutal draw. iowa state is as close to a 1 seed as it gets but getting them and uconn before the final four is just rough. they can certainly do it as they have several pieces that can beat a team like uconn - the biggest being shannon - a dude on a mission who's showing he's ready for the next level. there's similar praises due to domask, hawkins, and dainja for their roles. illinois didn't put a full game together last night - like they did the past 5 or 6 outings but their coaching and a little grit created too big of a hole for isu. it's been a long time since i could say this, but i enjoyed the feeling of illinois outcoaching another team. keep that up. ill

[hammerk]

Shannon made all American third team for college basketball. GIVE ME A BREAK. All the professional commentators in the tournament say he's one of the top 3 players in the country.

[tonymante]

illinois chemistry and passing is on point.

[fbharris]

Underwood erased some of my doubts tonight. Illini didn't collapse with Shannon on the bench. And is the box score correct? Did Shannon only play 22 minutes? If so, that makes his performance even more lights out.

[lirider]

Uconn 95'. Illinois looking good. Their passing in offense is crazy crisp. We'll have to put a stop to that. Good run Illinois.

[stevenacken]

My teams are out. ISU was tough!! Go Illini ! Good win tonight.
