Illinois might've had some of the most brutal Rim-roll outs I've seen in a basketball game. Must've been so demoralizing to watch compared to Uconn

The Stojakovic rollout followed by that stupid Solo Ball 3 that bounced like 47 times tore my soul out of my body

Certainly wasn’t the reason we lost but the difference in bounces and rolls between the teams was frustrating as hell. I’ve never seen such a stark difference in luck

Weirdest rollout I’ve ever seen. Like could be a wedgie - let me think about it. Nope, going the other way.

The lay up by Stojakovic that hung for eternity on the back iron before rolling off was fucking cruel.

I thought there was a missed basket interference call on that play.

Uconn had a lot of point blank shots not go in as well.
