hats off to unc first off..im a huge illinois fan..but...the game was a decent game...what made the game? points in the paint..sean may, although great in college ball will not be as effective in the pros..thats a big step..especially for big men...illinois had 3 attempts in the last 1:10 from 3 range wide open and missed all...if they had shot well and i think taken better shots at time...different outcome...the team the executed good won tonight..congrats to unc....ILLINOIS WILL BE BACK NEXT SEASON...THEY ONLY LOSE TWO STARTERS..HEAD AND POWELL...(giving that nobody else(williams) enters the draft

ONE

Actually, no...It's a foul that basically doesn't exist anymore unless it is blatant....very similar to the 'carry' dribble that everyone does nowadays.? It simply isn't called anymore.

Na I agree with you man...I just messing with ya a little bit (and the other Illinois fans). But it definately gives a huge advantage to the offence. It really was a great game though, and the loss can't be blamed on the refs. Illi simply didn't hit from the 3 point line like they normally do.

I agree...he's waaay to slow and isn't nearly athletic enough to be effective in the NBA.

Hehe..well, the good thing is....we didn't lose to Santa Clara School of the Blind.  :)

CHEAP shot! lol. Just wanted to add, I guess Roy can die in peace now and shut everyone up. I'm glad he finally got the monkey off his back.

Blaming the refs is useless. They let things go both ways. Illinois was simply over powered down low on defence and was kept out of the lane way too much forcing them to rely on a failing three. An uncalled foul doesn't make up for the fact that UNC simply played amazing defence and gave Illinois some really poor looks at the rim.

Tick tack fouls on augustine did play a huge role in this. Augustine did a real good job on May when he was in.

Since we're blaming refs, I guess you missed the moving screens by IlliniosE? Oh wait... they did that all season... hmmm...

Although, I will admit that last foul on Augustine was phantom, he didn't even touch him.

you can't really think that a guy Sean May's size only commits 1 or 2 fouls a game. Or Shaq for that matter, their offensive fouls just go unnoticed because the defensive player moves when they get run over, and the foul is called on them.

ps. to Rashad McCants...stop showing your jersey because DW made you an embarrassment.

While that last foul was questionable, he simply couldn't hold May. Fouling out in a little more than 9 minutes play time is not JUST because of the refs. He screwed up and hurt his team. Then again, maybe if they stopped chucking up 3's when they went cold and drove more, they could have has more fouls called against UNC.

When it comes down to it, UNC outclassed Illinois at key points in the game. The refs played no role in the loss, as they don't play a role in any win or loss. When one team plays better, they will win. That's just how it goes.

As stated in the other thread...the last moving screen was called around 10 years ago...It simply isn't called anymore.

worst officiated final i've seen in a long while. there was maybe one or two moving screens that shoulda been called, but thats about it.

the never ending nickle and dimers on illinois' end, and the constant uncalled hacking on UNCs end was just too much to overcome, although they actually came pretty damn close. with neutral refs, i'd still put money on illinois any day of the week.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
