First Four Game Thread

Honestly, was surprised how strong Texas looked in that half. Maybe Illinois was the wrong bracket choice for R32
Announcers said they are the healthiest they've been all year with all of their top 10 guys available. Not sure who was out when we played them. Either way, I'll take my chances against them in a revenge game over Illinois assuming we get there.

The committee didn't want that. Texas would have beat the dog crap out of unc.
From a viewership standpoint, they made the right move.

UNC in the 1st 4 is a tremendous draw by itself.

Tre Johnson is a top 10 pick. People will tune in to see that guy
 
Between the games so far in the tournament, certainly appears to be a tighter whistle than SEC play. I see that as a positive for us
I always figured this would be the case.

For all the talk about how "physical" the SEC is, it won't serve them well in the tournament. It's why I think we'll see some of those teams upset in the 1st round. Here's looking at you Texas A&M.

I also hope Tennessee gets lit up with fouls and thrown off their game in the 1st 2 rounds.

Texas trying to choke like dogs.

Honestly idk what I want to happen n this game and on Friday night (other than a UK win). All 3 potential round of 32 opponents look challenging in their own ways.

I feel like I’d rather play Texas than Xavier. Xavier showed serious resolve getting this game turned around
