Newton is the definition of chill... and he's sneaky clutch and sneaky strong...

[@RyanHarrington-i4g]

Go UConn

[@richpatla5714]

Donovan is the difference. If he stays out of foul trouble and plays his game, UConn wins.

[@cheeeeeeeader-df2ek]

Upon deSTROYED them!!

bro it was crazy!

[@kodiak138]

Im a Uconn fan but I have to say Illinois scares the hell out of me. With most of the Uconn games the other team can play their A game and as long as Uconn playes a B game they would win somwtimes they got away with it playing their C game. I sont think they get away with that against Illinois. A vs A uconn wins B vs B, etc, as long as they match them with potential
we will win.

Huskies 🐺

[@MMAALL]

Having some serious PTSD from 1990, 94,95 and 96.
Those teams were top seeds that, for whatever reason didn’t get it done.
I just hope they don’t pull a stinker today against Illinois. I should feel good about their chances, because they’re very very good.
BUT, UConn fans have had their hearts seriously broken before, usually when they seem like a sure thing.
Thats what this year reminds me of.
I hate to say it, but they’re losing today. I hope I’m wrong.
(Everything I said before I take back. That was an imposter.)
