Lookin good Dan!
We are hitting on all cylinders. I was hoping Hawkins would have a breakout game and he has given the Illini another weapon tonight . We will see how they play in second half . Shooting over 60% so if they can keep up their momentum we should be good .
😆 over 60% - that's INSANE! heel yeah! 🔥

Hi guys , I was expecting a tougher game last night . When game started and Hawkins came alive I thought this could be ugly . I think the Iowa State game will be a tougher test for the Illini . Truthfully I am just happy we have won two games Underwood is a good coach . I heard he got a $100,000 bonus winning conference tournament and trip to the dance . Thursday is going to be fun ! Dan

Yes sir! Just flew into Texas to help my daughter move into their new house so I've been distracted. Getting to see my grand baby 😁

Great wins for you both! Not easy to beat Izzo!

Big game tonight against Iowa State . One of the top defensive teams against one of the top offensive teams . Really worried about this match up . We will need to be firing on all cylinders and keep momentum at a fast pace . Fingers crossed and sprayed the cat Blue and Orange ! 😂 Dan

Wow, Clemson may have just punched our (Carolinas) ticket to the Final Four!
IF......if we beat Alabama!
Reason I say that, is because we pretty much OWN Clemson in basketball!
Yeah, pretty thrilled Clemson won!

That game surprised me , figured Arizona would make a comeback and hold off Clemson for win . Another big dance loss for Arizona , never seem to break through . Dan

Dan, I told my wife before the game started, that I had a feeling that Clemson was gonna beat Arizona. I just had a feelin man....
I also got a feelin that Gonzaga will knock off Purdue tomorrow.
As far as Carloina & Illinois goes, I haven't a clue.
That's really weird how that works....ya know what I mean?
Maybe I'm just crazy 😆
