      Biggest comeback in history against a top 10 college basketball team to beat Illinois. Down 33-10 the team fought to win in OT behind Dent’s 15 assists and amazing game winning shot taking it coast to coast with 4.9 sec left reminiscent of Tyus Edney. They may have punched their ticket to the tournament with a huge Quad1 win. Looks as though they haven’t bailed on Mick. Next up Trojans on Tuesday.

      The WBB team can wrap up the Big 10 title today if they beat Wisconsin. Looking to remain perfect in the conference at 16-0, the Bruins have 14 Quad1 wins which is seven more than the closest top three. They will have one more conference game remaining after today against a motivated SC team looking for revenge over at the Galen center.

      Go Coach Mole Rat Go!!! Keep going Mick. If that’s the history you want to celebrate have at it. Beating Illinois in regular season. Man that is a USC hoops level of cope.

      He’s a crappy coach. Took making 16/18 FGs for one stretch and Illinois playing pretty poorly to squeak it out.

      Incredible defense by Illinois there on last second drive. Just soooooooooo bad.

      I said Mick was being overrated after his 3 or 4 game OT final 4 run and they all returned the next year and I said they would not get back there. And I was right. Mick hasn’t done crap for Bruin program. I hope he stays. Being Serious

      As for USC Hoops. Looks like Musselmen sucks too

      UCLA has more talent especially  with our 25 year old being injured

      Thank you, and yes I will acknowledge it as a big win because it’s NEVER  been done before. Overcoming that big a deficit? If you don’t think Illinois is a great team you’re not following basketball. They are projected as a #2 seed in the ncaa tournament, #4 in the Ken Pom rankings with an adjusted efficiency  margin of +34.39. That ain’t chopped liver.
      Mick is a crappy coach and overrated> Well, if he is it’s not because of missing a repeat to the final 4 two years in a row. Was that returning team at full strength? I know back to back final 4 appearances happen so often because it’s so easy to do right? lol.

      Looks like Musselmen sucks too> I don’t know about that or really care, but he seems like a good dude, after all he took his players surfing in Hawaii. My old coach never took us anywhere. Only watched two of their games this season, and the Oregon game Saturday they gave  away at the end. That Arenas may have talent and potential but he tends to over dribble and thinks he’s MJ. What was he doing on that final possession?

      Good win for team RWC. I checked out early on because it looked more of the same. But Dent earned that nil bag. I read on fox that he’s the 5th highest in nil. Good on him. Muss is going to have to plan around him for any chance of a win, which I doubt, but should be an entertaining game. Best of luck.
