Was a super ugly first half for both teams, but Illinois shot better, and that was the game. I honestly did not expect Houston to play as poorly as this in what seemed like a pseudo-home game in Houston, only 2 miles away from campus. I really don’t think the Cougars could have played much worse, and I’m starting to wonder if a Kelvin Sampson team can win the title in the next couple of years. Feels like they’ve been due for years. Give Illinois credit, their frontline is huge and their guardplay is a perfect mix of seasoned veteran with Kylan Boswell, and talented freshman with Keaton Wagler ( who I have been more impressed by than any other player in this tournament so far ).

Illinois stops a scary Houston teams in its tracks as they went on a 17-0 (!!!) run in the 2nd half and the Cougars were never able to take one of those crazy runs for their team. Sad ending for Sampson.
