@mattmylescheesys They were in a league of their own from that season we beat you to 2009 when we won another natl title. No one could stop us. That bad season last year wasnt even a surprise bc we lost almost are whole team. People put Carolina in the preseason top 10 that year because they are ALMOST always one of the top 5 teams in the nation but that year we werent. This year we arent either but thats becausewe are still rebuilding. UNC will have a natl title in at least 5 years again.
moving screens? i dont think you guys should be complaining about the refs. Shaun may chicken winged and truck sticked you guys to victory. Augistine probably played 8 min the entire game because every time he got in the phantom whistles started blowing. id say that if that game was played 10 times changing refs every game, UNC wins 1 outa those 10. Im not saying you didn't have a good team, but you rode the refs all the way to the title in that tournament - not even just in the finals
And why should we care what a UCLA fan thinks? Anyway, if by owned you mean out-rebounded, out-possessed, had more assists, and weren't allowed to use our starting center and still barely lost after the refs spotted unc a 13 point lead via freethrows, then yea, we got owned. Refs love us. Look up the box score from the 01 Maryland game too and see how hard we got 'owned'
@RandleKrush Fuck you again. It's sad that you are blaming the game on the refs. We won that game because we were the better team. The reason you are arguing this is because the Illini have never done anything better than make it to a national title. You see UNC doesnt just go to a national title....we win them.
not even eligible for the NIT this year hahhahhah. AND you can't play in the big ten acc challenge next year since you finished the season dead. last. in the acc
@RandleKrush Fuck you. You are seriously making fun of North Carolina for having one bad season? We beat your ass in the national championship. UNC has 5 natl championships and how many does Illinois have? Hahahhahahahha thats what I thought. UNC is arguably the best college basketball program ever and in my opinion they are the best ever. Illinois is not in my top 25 ever and it should be in no ones top 25.
I think it shows that we had a lot of poise to win that game with all the moving screens that weren't called against Illinois. That's the only way they were able to get their wide open threes -- which didn't help them in the end.
With all due respect, I think you have that backwards, Jardo. Carolina was the best team that year and was pounding them until Illinois got hot for a stretch in the second half. The game shouln't have been as close as it was but the best team won so it doesn't matter I suppose.
maybe because our center had 4 fouls in the first half because the reffs were letting sean may throw his big ass around and his big ass elbows around without consequence.. and Augustine gets called for fouls when he gets elbowed in the face.. not to mention the ACC sucked that year...37-2..wont see that again for a while
how about how those same refs let Illinois set moving screens the entire second half that lead to Illinois coming back from 15pts.and 3 of Augustins fouls came on reach ins.why the hell is a 7 footer reaching in.if Augustin would have played like a big mans suppose to he wouldn't have fouled out.
your crazy if you think that.UNC was the better team and proved it.if not for the refs letting Illinois set moving screens the entire second half theres now way Illinois erases that 15pt lead UNC had.
AWESOME. I go to Illinois and yet again we were dissappointed but eh we can never finish. I was watching the game at a bar and I had this broad from Iowa screaming go Iowa. I had to check her saying Iowa didn't even make it to the tourney. Plus she was spending her spring break in champaign.
Illinois fans complaining about the refs, not a surprise! The more they complain, the more they lose their credibility anyways! UNC doesn't need a marketing tool. The name sells itself!!
I love how you pick us "illinois fans" out for complaining about the refs when that is EVERY team who doesn't win! If UNC doesn't win the tourney I guarantee there will be a thousand crybaby tarheel fans complaining! Can't wait for that day....
I have been an Illini fan all my life. This is a great marketing tool for Illinois. I love this. Thanks to Jeff's dad for showing us some love even though MJ's alma mater beat us fair and square for the Championship.... Go Illini!
Fair and square if you consider the refs letting Sean May play like he's baby Shaq in an NBA game and calling ticky tack fouls on Augistine all game, then yes. But I agree the commercial is good for Illinois.
Haha what a bunch of sore losers. UNC for life baby
