Illinois Deserved To Lose Final Four Game With Absolute Cringe They Brought Us Beforehand

What the hell is this?

Saturday brought us the Final Four, with the first game of the evening being the contest between the Connecticut Huskies and Illinois Fighting Illini. Coming into the game, it was Illinois who were the favorites (for reasons that I still don’t understand). But we all know how the story went, as the Huskies went on to get a 71-62 victory.

Now, I personally was rooting for UConn, I had a good chunk of money on them. But I wish I saw what I’m about to show you before the game, because I would have put A LOT more money on the Huskies with how cringe Illinois made me feel with this. It’s almost like they were destined to lose, that’s how bad this is.

For whatever reason, the Illini decided to bring their High School Musical-style a capella singing club with them on their journey to the Final Four. And like I said, man … they deserved to lose. This was so cringe. So, so cringe.

All I heard the entire week was how Illinois was so much better than UConn and the Huskies didn’t stand a chance, and little did everybody know, they were betting on … this.

Plus, how on earth were people going against these numbers?

Illinois deserved to lose and always were going to lose as far as I’m concerned.
