This is just pathetic. This isn't like when UK just out muscled some teams in 2015.. this is just Illini crapping their pants all over the place.

For you guys too young to see uk georgetown. You are seeing it.
Need to turn in their D1 card after this. Seriously just concede and stop dishonoring the game. You do not deserve to be on the court.
Because they have a coach that WANTS to win. THAT is who should be here.
Illini gave up. If I was Hurley I'd consider pulling out some of my guys, illini might start playing chippy. "Let's call this now.."
Looks like 1984 all over again. And not the book.
It really is pathetic. They totally rolled over. Obviously a lot of this is Uconn just playing so well on both ends.. but damn.
That's what happens when you have a competitive coach who demands excellence from your players.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a 30-0 run in a game, much less in the Elite Eight. Incredible performance by UConn or embarrassing for Illinois depending on your perspective. Maybe a little of both.
Blame the coaches blame the players but how many times so you need to hit yourself in the nose with a hammer before you knock it off? They didn't try anything differently when Uconn was playing terribly. Now that they've found their groove they've just completely pissed down their leg.
And they've looked incompetent too. They've gotten open shots, they just can't make anything. Moment entirely too big for them. Lol for anyone who wanted Shannon and speaking of him like he would have saved the season. 1-10 and got his shit sent at least 4 times.
Archie Goodwin approach to offense.
don't?
I think the recruiting services need a real tweaking. Seems to be way too much emphasis placed on athleticism, AAU circuits, measurables, etc.
That's not how Hurley rolls.
He will keep his foot on their throat and the pedal to the metal UNTIL Illinois concedes and pulls THEIR starters.
I can count on a fingerless hand how many times UK had an opponent just go this limp in the tournament.
I think I really want to see a UCONN Purdue title game I want to see the 2 monsters going at it
I'll have some of what you're drinking....or smoking.
You are watching my now going on 3 year choice for coach at UK.
Don't confuse that as an invitation to have a conversation lol. I don't care.
Yep now that you mention it. When does UK ever get a team to just get wide eyed and feel like they can't compete?
Maybe KU a couple times? 2015 team and the KBJr game? Other than that I can't recall and especially nothing in the NCAAT.
See those instances, I think it was our athleticism and talent that just whipped teams into a frenzy. They looked bad because we MADE them look bad. Now again, uconn us obviously a big reason for why the score is what it is.. but yeah, we've never had a team just inexplicably go dumb like this. Kentucky isn't that fortunate. Nor are we fortunate enough in modern times to have our opponents best player and conference POY go down 5 min in eith an injury (shead).
Nope! Destroy them. That team deserves to have their assets handed to them. Karma.
You've just forgotten early round games in the 90's when Pitino had us rolling.
Teams feared having to play UK then. Especially these 14 and 15 seeds. Massacres.
Illinois just another one sided team that gets trounced by a team that's just better on both offense and defense lol.
Yeah been plenty of stomps in first couple rounds, I was considering S16 and beyond in my head though.
Clingan rated 56.
16 at center.
Obviously we never had a chance for him because he's from Storrs. Whoever is running these rating services is lying.

Serious problem with the current scouting/rating system.
It's like Lunardi getting seeds right.
