Illinois won a battle for the ages

Photo by Fred Kfoury III/Icon Sportswire via The Illini are going to a place many students haven’t seen in their lifetimes. It was a fitting start to a game that took place on Major League Baseball’s official Opening Day. When Iowa State ripped Terrence Shannon on the first possession of the game, the narrative started, it was the equivalent of an elite starting pitcher giving up a home run on the first pitch of his biggest start of the season. Some of the best shake off those setbacks most of the time. Then you have the even rarer breed: the ones with the short...

Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports Feeling good about the Illini? Thursday’s game against Iowa State was obviously more intense than the ones we saw last week in Omaha, but I think we’ll all take the Illini’s first Elite Eight appearance since 2005. However, the road is about to get even more challenging, facing top-ranked UCONN on Saturday night. We’ll have coverage for you leading up to tip here at TCR, but for now, we wanted to take some time to look at what DraftKings has already posted for the game in terms of wagering odds. Keep in mind: These things are...

TSJ, Illinois hang on against Iowa State to reach Elite Eight

David Pollak // TCR Unbelievable college basketball game. BOSTON — The Final Four is just one win away. In the first Sweet 16 appearance since 2005 for Illinois (the No. 1 offense according to Kenpom), it had to face off against an Iowa State team who was ranked as the No. 1 defense Thursday night at TD Garden. In what was seen coming as potentially the best matchup in the Sweet 16 — and a game which even turned into Iowa State’s style of play — Illinois survived against Iowa State in an absolute dogfight 72-69. But out the gates, it didn’t have the feel of a...

Victory Thread: Elite Eight Bound!

Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports Alabama 89, UNC 87 After ending the season on a sour note, an Alabama team that many a pundit had as a likely early upset candidate has made the Elite Eight by knocking off top seeded North Carolina. The game was played at a breakneck pace from the jump. In the first half, Alabama was doing the things that one would think they needed to do to win the game. They made half of their three point attempts on good volume, played with high effort, and even executed their defensive strategy. Unfortunately, that defensive strategy partially...

Arizona pitcher Miranda Stoddard | Photo by Catherine Regan / Arizona Athletics Of the nine Pac-12 softball programs, the No. 7 Stanford Cardinal have one of the worst offenses across the board. Stats don’t play games, though. Players do—and the Stanford players looked like a top offense in their 9-0 win in five innings over No. 21 Arizona on Thursday night. “I thought quite a few of our hitters got better as they went, which is what I wanted to see,” said Arizona head coach Caitlin Lowe. “And they wanted way more at-bats than that, and that’s the only thing...
