...I-N-I!
Go Illinois! I've always wanted to see MU vs Illinois, why not Thurs night?
I would rather play them than Miami.
Christ. Dish. Please. We can only wish to throttle that team.

I really don't want any part of Miami.
We should have beat Butler in Maui and should have played Illinois then. Hoping that little cosmic misstep corrects itself tomorrow night.
I believe that MU has at least a couple of games winning streak going vs. Illinois.
I dont think UI even managed to go. 500 on the B1G. Bring them on all day long.
Agreed. And they actually could beat Miami. Illinois is such a strange team.
Illinois has a bunch of slightly above average jump-shooters who can occasionally get hot...but can often be cold. I'd take them over Miami in a heartbeat. I just can't seem the U losing to the U of I.
On any given day, Brandon Paul can beat pretty much any team in the country on his own. Then go out and lose to Purdue the next day. Or Northwestern. Or Iowa.

I like the way you think buddy!
We play harder than Miami does. They play soft. I like our chances against either team.
My current college vs. the team I grew up watching. Its gonna be tough to root against Illinois if they end up playing them but campus would be a party if Marquette wins.
Who's with me??? ;D
I'm on board!

What the Hell is wrong with you?
You go to Marquette that is the team you cheer for. Quit being such a FIB

I live in Illinois and hate them. Well except for tomorrow. Tomorrow I'm a huge fan.

Correct. Actually invited my Illinois loving brother in law over for the game.
Wouldn't mind if the Miami team that lost @Wake and at home vs. Georgia Tech shows up tomorrow or Thursday. They're good, they're not UNC '11 or Florida '12 invincible to us.

I'm south of the border as well. UI fans are as arrogant and obnoxious as Syracuse fans. But what makes it worse is it comes with none of the achievement. Or tradition.
Remember when Weber got fired last season. All we heard was that they're a top 10 program and how Shaka Smart and Buzz were waiting breathlessly next to their phones for the call and all of that other rubbish verbal masturbation.
F them right in their stupid f'ing faces. Except for tomorrow.

The self entitlement for UoI fans is insane.
Heck, I'm looking past Miami and Illinois.

That is awesome. Hang a special 2013 Final Four Banner with an asterisk*
*Did it by beating Tom Crean

A Illinois guy at work asked me what Marquette's seed was expecting that it wouldn't beat his 7 seed. When he told him all he could say was "woah, that's respectable."

Most Illinoisans (Illinoisians? Illinoisgoites? Illinoisgons) don't like U of I. The only ones who do are those who attended, and they are mostly insufferable dickholes. How's that for generalizations?

Correct, unless you're from the deep south Illinois. But that's all you got.

Perfectly stated, brew. Illinois already has shown that it can beat the No. 1 team and lose to bad teams. That's what happens when you live by the 3.
I absolutely would rather play Illinois than Miami ... but only if we then beat Illinois. I don't know anybody who went to Miami but I have lots of friends who went to Illinois and they would be insufferable if we lose. Then again, it sure would be sweet to beat them and be the one with the bragging rights!!!!
Illinois fans are huge front runners. They did a lot of talking when they had Deron Williams and the few years before that. Since, even though they have had OK teams, you have heard nothing. You have not heard anything from their fans all year this year but you will start hearing from them if they beat Miami.
It doesn't matter who we play. MU must get a shot at Crean.

Thats a huge generalization and I would honestly say pretty untrue.

It is very, very easy for me to root against any team we play.

As a kid from the suburbs, visiting friends at the U of I was the worst fracking experience ever. From rows and row of date-rapey frat houses where you had to introduce yourself to "Bluto" to get a beer, to the absolutely lamest bars I've ever been to, that placed sucked hard.
And the
generalizations of their students is dead on. Where do you think the douchiest-of-douchebags who lives in Lincoln Park went to college?

I know Rocky.
Bane is no Rocky.
Chicago's preeminent Marquette bar The Schoolyard also plays host to U of I functions making it a 2school bar. I don't think they can handle the crowd if both teams win. Considering the manager and some of the guys who bartend are MU guys, I can't imagine anything but the mU rah rah song to be played over the speakers at commercial breaks. That place will be packed to the gills.

Was going for "Jon" from Delocated, but that works too
I hate U of I, can't stand them. Nothing would be sweeter to beat them in the Sweet 16 and then IU in the Elite 8.
I grew up in Illinois and never cared for the U of I...that said I'll cheer for them tonight so it makes Thursday more enjoyable.

It's not? He did forget the constant wafting cow manure smell, that would make it most true.
Pretty much spot on, but it's also spot on for the majority of Big Ten schools.
