What a lousy day in Illini sports.

come on sky cheer up, the VB team hugely overachieved and got to a title game ,  Hoops I agree though

I don't know that they overachieved. They were ranked preseason (maybe top 10, but I don't remember), they were #1 for 4 weeks in mid-season and were never ranked lower than 7 after that. They were the RPI number 1 for a good share of the year and were still at the end of the regular season. They were playing well most of the season and a run like this was a real possibility.

Darnit dude I'm trying to cheer the guy up  :tounge:

Yeah, no overachievement here.  These ladies are for real.  This team oozes with talent.  They just came up short that one day.  This won't be the last trip, that's for sure.

We'll see I guess. As in the other sports, we have seen how hard it is to get to the championship game.
