At PDX waiting for my flight to LAX. U of I is making a run in the 2nd half to make this a game - back w/in 5 - but North Carolina still looks strong. I do love it when a less talented team (U of I) tries to compete and beat a more talented team (UNC)...not many times does the underdawg win - but when they do - it is beautiful.
I remember Mr. Mau - in like 5th grade gym class - told us - Basketball is one of those games where a team though not as big, strong, quick - if they play together well - is capable of beating a vastly superior talented team. Villinova 20 years ago was a good example. Maybe Illini will do it here.
