I watched the Georgia/Southern Illinois game closely. Few outside of the Illinois state line have ever heard of SIU so I was very pleased to see them advance!
I was surprised when Mike Wood called that intentional as well. I knew it wouldn't cost Georgia too much because the kid that was fouled averages 40% FT. The Georgia coach knew that too but just wanted to make a fuss. I think Roberts made one of two but was 1 for 5 before he went to the line. Roberts is the Chuck Knoblauch of NCAA. It's pretty hard to throw up an airball from the free throw line but he managed to do it twice that game.
Watch out Connecticut!
