We've got an NFL draft talk. a great guest list Greg Peterson is going to join us we'll get his thoughts we will get Adam Burke's

thoughts as well and then James Anderson going to join us as well to talk a little major league

baseball Joe how you feeling baby you know Matt we lost Iowa but got back by nuking Arizona

I got a half a pot of espresso in my system right now in five hours. There we go. There we couldn't be better. Absolutely love it. So as we as you said, so Illinois did pull away from Iowa late there. 71 to 59. Iowa had the four point lead at half. If you're holding the seven or the six and a half, you're feeling great about that. And then you look,

the two minute mark, getting a little dicey, but you're like, okay, not that bad. It's 63 to

59. Two minutes left in the game. What could possibly go wrong? How about, how about Iowa not

scoring again the rest of the game in Illinois going on an eight oh run to cover this thing. Any and all numbers got home for the fighting ally.

And I, you and I did see a little bit of money coming in late on Illinois from some people.

And, you know, we just, we held, we held strong to our position there on Iowa.

And again, they just couldn't make any shots down the stretch at all.

Illinois just shot

18% from three in this game, but at 17 more boards than Iowa did, including 16 offensive

rebounds over the course of the game in this thing. And so at the two minute mark, yeah, you're like,

okay, we're down four, but I was hanging tough. They're not going to get outside of three possessions in this. And instead at the two minute mark, yeah, you're like, okay, we're down four, but I was hanging

tough. They're not going to get outside of three possessions of this. And instead, the 80 run for Illinois and all of those tickets go up in flames. And Illinois moves on to the final four. Yeah, well, you hit the nail on the head right there, man. I mean, those last two minutes were really just a microcosm of the second half.

It was like death by a thousand paper cuts

for us Iowa backers there.
