Or could it be saying something about Utah's preparation and focus? Like they are better prepared and focused on Saturdays vs Fridays? Or like they spent all week focusing on how to prepare for BYU and got a little surprised by what Illinois brought, but still won? Illinois also got swept off the court by Colorado, who was in that 9th-11th tie at the basement of the PAC.

Except you can't use the "they still lost" argument and meanwhile hype Illinois. ? UCSB: a bad team put together an outlier performance against a Texas team not taking them seriously, and still lost. Illinois: the #7 team in the B1G nearly beat the #3 team in the Pac-12, both of whom were Sweet Sixteen-quality teams that met too early. You're trying, but it ain't good. UCSB is not a bad team. They’ve been good all season and proved how good they are by taking Texas to the limit. And Illinois didn’t belong in the tournament. They were not Sweet Sixteen- quality. Gtfo with that bs.

Are we really using #7 as a data point in someone's favor? Wow so they did better than Rutgers, Maryland, Iowa, Indiana, Northwestern, Michigan State and Ohio State. There's no basis for saying Illinois was a Sweet Sixteen quality team except an opinion/eye test. Like according to what? And their almost beating Utah isn't any more impressive than almost beating Texas. For the record, I do think Illinois was talented and better than plenty of other teams in the tournament this year and would've beat a bunch in the first round. Just pointing out that inconsistency in your reasoning You're attempting to point out a perceived inconsistency that doesn't actually exist because you're really, really bad at argumentation. Lol don't give yourself unnecessary credit, sweetie.

Always pick the Utes in the holy war. Any sport. Umm, maybe except football. Utah owns BYU in football, lock, stock and barrel.

UCSB is not good. Texas was not good last night. Illinois was very good. Hawaii is also not good.

I'd be really surprised if that was the case. Any coaching staff spending most of their time preparing for the 2nd match of a one and done tourney, should consider another profession.
Illinois has shown glimpses of a quality team all season, they just couldn't sustain.

Then point to that as your argument... Don't use the Colorado match from SEPTEMBER when the NW match is a better, more recent example of Illinois' radical swing in level of play. Duh. You're better than that.

Your VT poll submissions are proof positive that you don’t have a clue.

Well since you’re talking about B1G #7 versus PAC #3, it’s relevant to point out that they are 0-3 on neutral courts against both top and bottom PAC teams.
