Scott and Robert take 25 minutes - Scott from broadcasting baseball in State College, Robert from his hotel room in Houston - to discuss the Illini beating Houston 65-55 to reach the Elite Eight. Sorry, the ILLite Eight.
On the day before the Sweet Sixteen, Scott and Robert preview the Illinois-Houston matchup, and somehow opera is part of the conversation.
Scott and Robert marvel at Illinois earning a berth into the men's Sweet 16, but Robert must cope with the fact that Iowa did so too. Plus: women's hoops wins a tournament game for the second straight year, spring football news, diamond sports review... more
Scott and Robert discuss the Illini crushing Penn 105-70 in the first round. They discuss the dominating performances from the Illini freshmen, the second half surge, and then try to contextualize the Illini's 65 second-half points.
