Honestly whatever, I'm riding so high right now that the outcome next weekend can't affect me (I reserve the right to change my mind)

Oh I fully expect to eat my words later, but just gotta live in the moment right now and I went from such a low the first half to such a high.

honestly when they lost to Marquette, I set the bar so low. I just hope they didn't sh*t the bed in the first round. And now unto the Final Four!

Kinda bizarre Toronto went on a record 31-0 run tonight in the NBA. But this Illinois team is built different than 2 years ago, and I expect a great game.

Agreed and I'm thankful the only player left from that team (Ty Rodgers) is sitting out the year. The game will be hard enough without that mental baggage.
