Oct 7, 2008 - id like to put my two cents in and say arizona deserved this win, and the refs totally gave up at the end. illini did a good job, but arizona did better and the refs sucked. BEAR DOWN!!!

Oct 14, 2008 - obvisouly they didnt deserve it, giving up a 15pt lead with 4:00 min left, and Illinois just showed how good they were

Valladares22 Says:

Oct 16, 2008 - whatever floats your boat.

Oct 29, 2008 - Amen to that man Yes we had the best record in the country @ that point they broke so many records that year i lost count they deserved that championship more than anyone & i only say that because they worked so hard & did so well & put alot of heart into every second of every game & they were ready for a championship the game they lost to NC was bullshit in my eyes but still I luv my Illini & always will I know who should of won that game so does everyone else who has a brain;)

hookerdreamz Says:

Oct 29, 2008 - illinois wasnt out there cheatin? so how would they not deserve a win from all the hard work they put forth into that game or any other game? i watched almost every game that year...I also know that Bruce Weber aint into cheating or doin some stupid shit on the court...NO fuck that he wants them to play basketball he wants them to show em how its done...Illini was taken care of business..maybe you need to give credit where credit is due because thats an amazing comeback

hookerdreamz Says:

Oct 31, 2008 - Sorry to burst your bubble but illini wasnt foulin ppl like your tryin to say they did...illini deserved that game...they came back after a 15 point deficit...GIVE SOME CREDIT WHERE CREDIT WAS DUE...Like someone else said in another comment that year we were runnin over everyone That team rocked the NCAA and we deserved to be in the championship game and if it wasnt for NC shovin our players around and if it wasnt for the paid off bastards with the whistles we would of won that game

hookerdreamz Says:

Oct 31, 2008 - Naw the refs in this game didnt swallow shit all illini did was get the ball and run with it...thats wut they were possa do...they made an awesome comeback and some ppl just cant see that illini wasnt foulin no one they were just runnin with the ball and taking their comeback in stride...both teams played a great game but illini was better

Nov 2, 2008 - i remeber watching this live, this is one of the best basketball games, I have ever seen. Chills and Goosebumps. Williams three to tie was amazing.

imanaughtypirate Says:

Nov 3, 2008 - watched this live with my dad and he kept sayin how the illini should just roll over instead of making it a heartbreaker. keep the faith. greatest comeback i have ever seen. period.

hookerdreamz Says:

Nov 3, 2008 - "In one of the most amazing games in Illinois history" Period. One of the most amazing teams in this nation.

ienjoyptl Says:

Nov 11, 2008 - Kudos for using the radio call at the end. I left my house with 5 minutes left for a date. People started calling me on the way alerting me of the comeback. I pulled over and listened to the end. I got chills hearing that call.

pbuch5150 Says:

Nov 13, 2008 - That really was a great game, but not nearly as good as the next one, when THE North Carolina Tar Heels beat Illinois for the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!

Nov 21, 2008 - I am a student at U of A and a lifetime fan and that was one of the most heartbreaking losses I have ever had to watch but what a comeback and what a game.
