Fighting Illini Struggle with Back-to-Back losses

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 05:30:03 +0000

The Fighting Illini started off the year 4-0. I figured they were really what people expected them to be. Then came the next two games against the Utah Utes and Bradley Braves. Against Utah they lost on a last second shot. It was a heart-breaker for the Illini, especially since they had led by 16 at half! I was shocked when I saw this. The score was 60-58. I just couldn't believe it. So they lost; I figured that maybe this was just an off game for the Illini, and that they would regroup for their game against Bradley. I guess not. Against Bradley, they lost by four. This was kind of one of those weird games where both teams were up big at a point in the game. After trailing 29-28 at halftime, the Braves opened a 47-38 lead with 12:59 left. But the Illini went on an 18-8 run and eventually took the lead on Mike Davis' three-point-play with 4:44 left 62-61. After Illinois built a 66-61 lead, Bradley scored the next nine points, capped by Andrew Warren's three-pointer. The Illini ended ...

No. 19 Utah Utes (9-2) at No. 15 BYU Cougars (9-2): The Holy War Preview

For both BYU and Utah fans, this is the most important game of the year. While it won't decide the conference championship (that goes to TCU, after they crush New Mexico this weekend), it will decide who the best team in the state of Utah is. The game is only a few days away, and the anticipation is spine tingling. I cannot remember a year where these teams were more evenly matched. Both teams are ranked in the top 20, come in with identical 9-2 records, and got blown out by conference rival TCU. All signs point to this being yet another, extremely close, extremely compelling matchup. As far as bowl matchups go, there won't be too much at stake in this one. BYU and Utah will definitely play in the Las Vegas and Pointsetta bowls, against very good Pac-10 teams. Their probable opponents include teams like: USC, Oregon State, Stanford, Arizona, and Cal. These are all teams that have been in the top 25 for much of the season, so it looks like BYU and Utah will both have their work cut out ...
