PFFFT!

ACC > Big Ten

And, quite frankly, I can't believe that you actually thought that Illinois might not lose. This game was a foregone conclusion if I ever heard of one; I knew as soon as Georgia Tech got eliminated that UNC was going all the way. Not a doubt in my mind.
Mr. Slim, you are my friend and you know I love ya, but sometimes you just really tick me off. Foregone conclusion? That is total B.S.!!!!!

Actually, 6th, I had Illinois in my bracket, which pretty much DOES make the fact that whoever they were playing would be the winner a foregone conclusion;)

And the ACC is way better than the Big 10; that's why they've crushed the Big 10 in the Challenge for the last decade. There are maybe two teams in the Big 10 that survive the ACC: Illinois and Michigan State; the rest would get killed.
Wisconsin would have probably beaten any team from ACC except for UNC. Let me just remind you that Ohio State did not make the tournament only because of their self imposed sanctions, otherwise they would have been a tough team to beat as well. The whole Wake Forest thing was a joke. Anyway, what would have happened does not matter. The bottom line is that Big Ten had 3/8 in Final Eight and 2/4 in Final Four. Congratulations to North Carolina though.

And just a reminder: ACC/Big Ten challenge = preseason

No thanks.
I just couldn't help pointing out another one of "your" statements.
Thanks, if I need a quasi-lawyer I'll know where to find one.
It's a "statement" made by a student of University of Illinois and a fan of Fighting Illini basketball. It is a statement I am very proud of. So I was wrong in all but 2 games this season. Thats 36 ouf of 38. Interesting you didn't quote the other ones.

Anyway, how far did your 'school' go ?

Why dont you keep it to the topic instead of attacking me.

BTW- I do not root for a D-1 school, but you don't really care.

I was on the topic until bitter fans of minor teams started insulting the Illini team, their achievement this year, all of Big Ten conference and finally my own faith in my own team. Oh well, that's the end of that.

You discounted every other final four team and then one of those final four teams beat your team. Somebody had to point out your arrogance gone wrong.

Again I have no allegiance to any school.

My 'arrogance' got me right 36 out of 38 times. I'll take chances with it any time.
Thanks again for your concern. Good bye.

Double standards are frustrating. Just look at the statement made. But, nevertheless, you are right this is is dumb. Im done.
