The real game. So far this will easily be the best game of the tourney. Two uptempo teams, expect 80 + by each team. I'll take Washington (5) over Illinois (4) by the final score.. of.. 91-87!
Who you got son? Oh by the way, Brandon Roy is gonna get a triple double.

I love Roy. I think he is real nasty from what I've seen of him. I still voted for Illinois though. Dee Brown and Augustine are very good tournament players and I give Illi the edge in tournament experience and coaching. Should be a close and good game though.

Well, since I had Illinois going to the Sweet 16, I guess I'll stick with that. Should be a very good matchup, though.
I will take Illinois since I am a fan, I hope that Jamar Smith can stay hot from 3-point land.

I like Illinois in that match up. If Smith can stay on fire, then Augustine and Randle will get some good looks in the paint when they go to press him. Also the way Dee Brown runs the floor always makes them a threat. He has great vision.

I can't name a single player on Washington so I have to go with Illinois.

My pick should be obvious. I think that it will be the best game today, unless you count the Zags getting upset. I think that Augustine will play a big role in the outcome. I look forward to watching B Roy and D Brown.

You don't know Brandon Roy? Huh.
Anyway, I think Washington should take it since they have the deeper bench (half of what killed them last year, the other half being 4-foul Nate The Great). I don't particularly like Augustine against Williams or Brockman. But I'm going to love seeing Dentmon on Brown. Hopefully the Huskies pull it out.

I'm afraid that Justin is going to have a very humbling experience against a much more experienced and offensive minded Dee Brown :cry:

Should be a great game. It'll be interesting to see how Webber matches up against Roy. Is he gonna put Brian Randle on him? I think Randle could contain him if that's the direction they go...

Who else does Washington have besides Brandon Roy? I mean he's the only guy people have been talking about for the Huskies. I haven't heard much about Washington this year besides Roy....
Illinois will stick their best defender and one of the best defenders in the Big 10 Brian Randle on Roy. He's extremely long and a freak of nature athletically. Illinois is DEEP, they have 2 or 3 players who can come off the bench and not lose a step (Smith, Carter, Frazier). Smith is a flat out scorer, any questions about his ability to score, see the Air Force game on Thursday. Warren Carter has underachieved all season, he's got the length and the ability, he just never put it together but he played very well on Thursday as well. Frazier brings a tough, hard nosed style of play. He's phsyical and he's a great defender. He can give a team an emotional lift off the bench.
I've said this all year, if Illinois can hit on all cylinders, they are one of the top 5 teams in the nation. If Dee has his shooting eye, Augustine stays out of foul trouble, McBride his his open jumpers, and the bench plays like it did on Thursday, then we could be in for a real treat today.
But all of this is "if." The Illini have yet to put good back-to-back games together all season, so hopefully they'll get off the schnide and do it today.
Illinois, for sake of my bracket.

None of our players are as big as Roy has come to be, but Jamaal Williams is a fantastic player. And, they're starting to bring him up off the bench, which has seemed to motivate him. Fantastic post player. John Brockman pre-season was slated to possibly be RoTY. He's a very good post player as well, but also a better defender than Williams. Then there's Ryan Appleby who transfered from UF. Can't do much else except for shoot the three, but he's good at doing it. Justin Dentmon is just about an inexperienced Dee Brown. Bobby Jones is another one of our Seniors that carries this team. Great all-around player. There's this one guy... but for some reason, I can't remember his name. Bleach blonde hair though. He's a Power Forward, but he can stroke it from long range. And then there are several Freshman that hardly get any playing time, but some of them are very underrated.
So my biggest problem is with Augustine, since we don't have anyone that physically matches up to him. Then it'd obviously be Brown, but hopefully Dentmon ups his game.

Jensen has been struggling on D in my opinion. See the Wheel play that USU ran to Harris three times. I think that Jamal will take some minutes from him a lot today. One person who I think needs to really up his game today is Joel Smith. He's got a lot of potential, but isn't getting the time to work it up. Plus, I live right next to him.
Illinois will win. Reasons stated above.

Good game so far. Pretty physical. I consistently see the Huskies taking charges, hitting the deck, and no foul being called, though. Sort of interesting.
But the Huskies are looking god awful at shooting, like they did in the Pac-10 tourney and their last game. They should be up by ten.

Yep you guys won on freakin free throws....Way to go!! You couldnt hit anything from the field in the 2nd half so the refs gave you 20 chances at the free-throw line.....Way to go!!
And how was the game decided? Hmmm lets see, free throws, what do ya know....We attempted I believe 9 free throws to your 25 I believe. That is flat out ridiculous.

Like I said before, quite a few more fouls should have been called on Illinois. Huskie fan or not everyone should have been able to see that. Hell, even Bilas was saying that.

I'll take a win no matter what. Stop hyping up Randle like he's gonna stop B Roy from doing what he has all year. Bobby Jones showed how to play D without fouling.

I agree. There were some crazy fouls called against UW that came out of nowhere, whereas UW took a ton of charges (Roy especially) where Illinois wasn't called for anything.
And they'll very well have to try and win the game on free throws against UConn. Take Boone, Armstrong, and the rest out of the equation, and a big game from Appleby.

I guess I am Keak...But I saw Washington doing some of the same stuff we were and it wasn't being called.
Yes a majority of Illinois fouls with legitimate fouls but it has to work both ways and I thought in the 2nd Half Washington got away with a lot of the same things that Illinois was getting called for.
The big blow was Randle getting into early fould trouble because he was the only one who could contain Roy. Ok I'm done venting off, good luck against UCONN......

Yea I saw about 2 or 3 charges on Illinois but those would not have put Washington at the free throw line...I also saw 2 fouls on Pruitt that were complete BS, a foul on Augustine for going straight up, and a foul on McBride for being physcial off a screen.
My point is 25-9 free throw advantage is absolutely ridiculous. There was a stretch where Washington had like 5 striaght trips and 5 straight fouls called on Illinois.

Yeah. Point is, there were some bad calls, but not so much more on one side than the other. And actually, those charges would have put Washington on the free throw line, considering they would have gone into the bonus earlier.
And the real reason for the huge difference in free throw attempts was that U-Dub was just flat out more aggressive, from their offense to their defense, opposed to Illinois's sloppy D. Illinois was taking a bunch of mid-range and long range shots and avoiding contact when they were going to the lane. When they got a vast majority of the foul calls called for them were when Augustine was posting up in the paint near the end of the first half, and coincidentally, was when they were doing their best. Then they went away from that for some odd reason.
Heck, even Bilas and Enberg (sp?) only complained about calls called against us. The only one beyond the Illini's coach that you could hear complaining about the calls was Dee Brown when he was yelling, "And one!" when no one was near him.
Washington over Illinois, another small notch in my most rightous bracket belt.

Illinois got hosed! Never before have I seen a team come from 10 down without scoring a FG. Handchecks, off the ball fouls, non-shooting fouls, then you'd see Dee Brown get mugged underneath the basket and no whistle. I had Illinois losing to UConn anyway, but the better team did not win that game. Holy cow...
