The Best Game Ever?

Maybe not, but it's a damn good game. There's 2:32 to go. Illinios just tied North Carolina for the second time after being down 15 early in the second half. If Illinois pulls it will be the biggest choke/best comeback ever. Damn. Here we go.

UPDATE: 1:04 left to play. Time out. Illinios has the ball and is down by one. They continue to live by the three. If they can sinking shots from behind the arc, they are going to win. If not, the Tar Heels will hang on.

UPDATE*: 50 seconds left. Time out again. Illinois ball down by three. The Illini keep setting monster screens and getting its sharpshhoters open for 3. They just can't hit.

UPDATE**: 25 seconds left. NC up 2. Felton on the line with the double bonus. Illinois have been stingy with the bal,but just gave up a steal. Felton hit one of two. UNC up by three. Time out. Illinois will be coming out of the TO gunning for a trey.

UPDATE***: Trouble for Illinois. They can't make a three despite good looks. UNC back at the line. It's now a two possession game with less than ten seconds to play. Roy Williams has had to sweat this one big time, but looks like he's finally going to win the big one. Time out. UNC up by 5, 75-70.

UPDATE****: It's all over. What a game. Incredible heart from the Illini just to make it close. They never did take the lead in the second half, but what an effort. What an awesome performance by Sean May. He's a man among boys. Williams, such a class act, finally has his championship. Congrats to all those folks who support the Heels.
