wtf? for the record Raymond Felton and Marvin Williams are starters on playoff teams in the nba, and Rashad McCants is still in the league, the funny thing about that 2005 UNC team J,R Smith was suppose to be on that but went to the nba instead

all i can say is this game was a long time ago so who cares i just love remembering it. and not one of those UNC players are still playing basketball. but illinois has a top 5 point guard in the nba off their team

@AndrewMaas21 What you say is true, but it is also true for just about ANY fan in ANY sport. And while there are a lot of rednecks in Illinois, most Illinois basketball fans aren't, so don't generalize us, even if you live in Illinois. As for the game, Were there some questionable calls down the stretch? Yes, but Illinois crawled back from 15 points down. Arizona became stagnant with their lead. I can understand the anger over a few bad calls, but Arizona fell apart and we had Williams. Period.

AndrewMaas21: good to see that there are other sensible people in this universe who adhere to basic principles of logic and common sense. Thank you!

@joeblow166: Thank You! that's the reason I dislike Illini fans, they have no proof to backup any arguments and they bitch about anything and when Illini loses they point the finger elsewhere and when Illini is out of the NCAA tourney hunt they act like they aren't an Illini fan...what a joke and I have to live in Illinois with all these redneck "fans"

Nice offensive foul by Williams at 2:19. 2:35 Dee Brown mugs a guy.

jedipudu - yet another Illini loving dunce who downplays the role of bad or biased officiating in deciding games...and then in the next sentence blames poor officiating for Illinois losing to UNC in the finals. The hypocrisy of the dunce is wonderful to behold.
