Wow, this is ridiculous for South Carolina vs Connecticut. The 3 referees should be fired out for never. It was for both teams and sad to see that the game was ugly.

For @djillini1 and @KedPrince4 that was all about the head coach. You never lose a game after you are up 33-10. You don't go to the OT and throw 3-point shots on almost every Illini playing. You never allow a layup from 80 feet.

Coach Johnson is great but he does not know how to 3-on-1 or 4-on-1.

Isn't the idea to win the game. The Dodgers were leading 3-1 for 4 innings and the Cardinals were 4-0 and that won the game.

I thought the MLB umps were bad last year, but it is way worse this year. Watching this Cardinals-Pirates game and watching it the game is so sickening with these umps. Between both teams I saw 20-25 pitches incredibly wrong. The players try to work, how about the umps to work.

What a great game. These guys got ahead and they never let it go. It was fun to watch, a full Carver Center and a loud crowd. Let's see the same thing on Tuesday for the CCIW Tournament.

2-for-20!!!! That is what the starting five players were for Illinois. That means bad players but more an awful coach to allow that kind of playing.
