UConn
led Illinois 28-23 at halftime. After
halftime, the not-so-good-at-Fighting Illini must have forgotten to come out
of the locker room, because what was a relatively close game turned into a
Junior High versus Varsity game. The
Illini had several lengthy scoring droughts in the first half, falling behind
9-0 and failing to score before the first media timeout; they were shut out
again between the under-12 minute break and the one that came under 8
minutes, missing 11 shots in a row. Still, they trailed only 28-23 at the
half. That's
when things really fell apart. Illinois
missed its first 14 shots of the second - 17 misses in a row, in all. The
30-0 UConn run lasted for the last 1:49 of the first half and the first 7:19
of the second. "I
didn t expect that. But tons of credit to
UConn," Underwood said. "I thought we were in a good spot at half,
especially after the slow start We obviously came out in the second half and
got blitzed." "We're
going to be tough to beat," UConn coach Dan Hurley said. "It was a
special level of basketball that we were playing." BUT,
IT MIGHT NOT BE OVER FOR YOU
With
only 5 games left in March Madness, your opportunities to win any of the
pools are dwindling. Some
of you have no chance whatsoever. But,
in case you have not noticed, additional money positions have been added to
the Bracket Pool. We have returned some scoring places from two years ago.
These are positions that will fall somewhere in the middle of the pack. Which
means, not only does the Bracket Pool reward underdogs, it also rewards
mediocrity! |
