greatest team of all time i dont care who won the title

[numba1hesterfan23]

how is Sean may doing in the NBA cause Deron Williams is one of the best point guard in the league and Luther head is a sixth man for Miami i don't ever hear from Sean may

[chickmagnet360]

Fuck yes!! ILL

@OBSlDlAN

Actually, you have it completely wrong; what happened in the past is more of an irrelevance that what it happening at the present time. If you ask a casual sports fan who Deron Williams, they would most likely know he is an NBA player; whereas if you as them who Sean May is, they might be able to say he played for UNC, but I doubt it. Furthermore, if you ask that same person about this game, the only thing they would be able to tell you is that UNC won, but thats about it.

good old nick smith...

[2nlloyd]

Great run

[ragzy02]

I hate UNC, and I was pulling for Illinois, but Sean May absolutely dominated inside, and even though guard-play usually wins in the tournament, decent guard-play combined with a great inside presence will always prevail. UNC was by far the better team in the 2005 title game. Sorry.

@nickillini

why you mad bro?

[triplecrown89]

@nickillini

we won, you lost...u mad?

[nickillini]

@triplecrown89 none of you fucking unc have players have had the success deron williams has had. go fuck yourself. marvin williams has been most successful and he is barely known just shut the fuck up!

[nickillini]

@triplecrown89 hey fuck face stop commenting on the video.  this is for illinois fans not fucking unc fans! god damn

[nickillini]

@cschnei08 hey why dont you go fuck yourself. your not an illinois fan so why the fuck are you commenting on this damn video. just shut the fuck up!

[cschnei08]

@igotthisbabe Yeah, I'll take the 2005 National Championship in exchange for that game. And since that game, UNC is the #6 team in the nation and ACC Champion and Illinois is a bunch of underachieving fuckups that can't get it done in their conference. And by the way, my previous comment stands.

[igotthisbabe]

@cschnei08 2011 Illinois 79 UNC 67

[cschnei08]

OK you guys had a great team that year and one of the best comebacks of all time. But PLEASE stop bitching about the refs in the championship game. You lost the game because you missed your shots at the end, plain and simple. You damage the rep of that classy team by constantly whining about how you were robbed. No one likes a sore loser.

[IWplaya23]

i just want to see them play again with the same numbers and the same jerseys just one more season i was little when they came back in that arizona game but i remembered i was jumping up and down screaming in cheer because they won and i knw theyd beat louisville and i couldnt watch the title game but i wanted to so bad and i regret it

[ILLINUT]

Sean May was called for 1 foul ::snickers:: on 10 of 11 shooting.....I just can't understand why his fat ass can't use that move where he uses his shoulders to bowl over defenders in the NBA??? Oh, thats right, because hewould be called for the foul unlike that one day where he got away with murder. Good game fatass...now go havea eat on the bench and watch Deron Williams show you how to ball

[Green18600]

I second the comment. Nobody will ever take away Illinois' accomplishments during the 2004-2005 Mens' Basketball Season. The Fighting Illini would have been 39-0 without those two losses. A Brilliant 6!!

[CHARLIEMANS0N]

@Sink2Bottom WE LOST TO THE REFS.....

[CHARLIEMANS0N]

THE 2010 WILL NOT FAIL

[joeblow166]

The best Deron Williams and company could do was be runner ups in 2005. The best NCAA team in history? Lol. Yeah right. At least Arizona had the brass to actually win a title in '97.

[IlliniTim1983]

I graduated from the U of I in 2006, the memories of that basketball season will last a lifetime. Awesome!!!!
