Louis for a 14th tournament the final 410 of its 3 for 3 from the line he's averaging eight and a half points a game the family of economist business and serbia montenegro and you know dick that four-team tournament concept something the dean smith came up with years ago hey you tell your team the other side of that bracket the other 32 teams who cares what goes on there only one team's coming out there you concentrate on your own road how about that was a very intelligent move from a coaching standpoint by Bruce Weber Augustine takes it inside and then back out to brown likes to slip that ball screen you have to be very aware especially on the weak side of Augustine [Applause] the seven on the shot clock inside on the block by five [Applause] and then big guy fries 611 senior from Phoenix he had 79 blocks on the season and in two years 142 is a presence when you get down low he is so long and so athletic but he's also very smart he waits until the offensive player leaves his feet then he goes to that shot clock averaging almost three blocks or game in the NCAA tournament circle back in Rogers up an advantage on Ted he's bigger and he's played the post support rills the three and in his first points and Shakur have been struggling from the field but he can't make open shots not a great shooter though Ingram was short a footer 9 went up there then of its clearing to floor to Adams the fingertips of fry on a bound [Music] [Applause] Illinois has really relied upon the three-point shot eleven of the Illini his first 15 shots were threes and knocked out five of those two of them coming off offensive rebounds where Darren Williams very intelligent in finding an open shooter Deron Williams who hit 50 along two minutes Chyna 19 what a nice pass by Jackie I've got it into the middle collapse the defense had found the open Deron Williams at the midpoint of the first 20 minute period here in Rosemont Illinois and Channing Frye shows you he can face up and hit that 15 quarter not used to having big guys shoot the ball that quickly off the catching suit situation a terrific unity skipping man with her head inside and almost intercepted its deep brown [Applause] [Music] using the point shot it died by it but it's been living and living right and if I was Augustine's first deep roundoff the relocation faster core trying to get out there and put some pressure on it but deep round such a quick trigger and you can see him grip a little bit reluctant to go any further out but he's gonna have to go out there because crying could knock that shot down all night long he's shooting over 70% in the NCAA tournament [Music] steal my head [Applause] so many suckers and in brown can't hit the long jumper asylums the other way for Arizona [Applause] fry on the post and fry gets the lob pass and scores a you should be function that was exactly the blood well he did such a good job of working Ingram heading you've got to give it to him he'll score every time or get pounds he answers from San Antonio they crave [Applause] both teams great shooting Adams can't hit tiptoeing along the sidelines he hit the line on amonst Arizona chanting fry in the most and doing a nice job Arizona is of moving the ball around in order to find the angle from which to feed him I thought he should have gotten the ball from the right wing but when you get into that high-low situation Illinois's got to put better pressure on the passer Hasan Adams able to look in there much too easily lute Olson uses more of a spin 6:10 sophomore over the freshman's still out there Stottlemeyer yet to hit a field goal he takes the 30 [Applause] a bounce pass by B Brown setting up the Roger Powell jr. crossbody block into Rabinowitz but [Applause] and the aggressive defense Bruce Weber loved he said from day one these kids two years ago knew they better guard their man lady not bad passing either [Music] by three check lines three and four three-point shooting six for twelve Illinois and free-throws keeping Arizona closed but what's happened to Salim stottlemeyers the best three-point shooter in the nation fifty-one percent well Deron Williams has happened to him Deron Williams has not let Celine Stoudemire breathe he's used his strength and his smarts to keep Stoudemire from getting the ball and when he does get he's got a hand up but this is exactly what Bruce Weber wanted get someone away Deron Williams five for the LOB [Applause] the back stream and Darren Willie athleticism very underrated as an athlete there's stottlemyre going under the basket there Deron Williams tagging him all the way the denna Fitch inside no foul the den Yvette's gets the ball back in scores he's leading Arizona with ten points Illinois his ability to hit three-point shots in this game is stretching out Arizona's defense and making the Wildcats vulnerable to drives and also the close stops Chris Rogers at 6th floor on the 6-3 Darren Williams with the ball aim good cross-court pass to brown [Applause] [Music] hot when you're baking them in Donna Meyer the high move off the glass and fry there Jim Brown beats everyone down for versa block but all this fouled on the rebound top out the speed of T ground with the ball in his hands lightening earlier on the timeout the screen right here by Roger Powell nobody steps in and not enough pressure on the basketball by Hassan Adam so Luther head able to lob it right up and Williams with both hands high that is really strong in deep brown Saturday night banking hours in Chicago closed on Saturday here's the Reverend Roger Powell jr. he is a Pentecostal minister Easter tomorrow he said I don't pray for a win I I just prayed to thank [Applause] my opportunity to play to him he certainly played the win against mr. wisconsin-milwaukee at 12 points nine rebounds five of those were offensive and when he's aggressive on the offensive glass that gets more opportunities now has seven points in the game while guarding the den of its knives him up arrow points to Arizona this doesn't sound like a neutral important to me that is the advantage of being seated number one of the ones with benefits putting it on the floor and Illinois their hands are so active on just the guards and the guards have great hands on defense but there now when we're debits showed the ball on his dribble was right there with his right hand to knock it away and caused the time Bruce Weber's day enjoying Indian the championship by Champaign Illinois been closed here to Chicago where they played in the Big Ten Tournament in one and should they be victorious they'll play Louisville in st. Louis again just a couple hour drive away from the campus in Champaign do they ever bring the Ortz play plant bands Rogers unable to hit the three and look at Adams against what stall Herman Santa Meyer hasn't hit yet he's over 4 but try is there to chip in the Reba both ends of the floor that was all made possible by hassan adams and his athletic activity on the glass [Applause] [Music] we approach the 5-minute mark in the shot clock Ingram the jump gets it back and a foul we'll be ticketed Jack Ingram played his first two years in Tulsa for Bill Self recruited by self as one of the unique jobs in his biography Jay Bilas he has worked at Six Flags as the roller coaster operator now you take it from there well hey he's had quite a smooth ride this season he's come off the bench very effectively especially since the Wisconsin game where he came in had eight points and he's been a big factor he didn't score in their last ball game but yes come off the bench and has done this game but bright with three in Ingram with three off the bench Illinois did not score a point from their bench against Milwaukee on Thursday night he's got to give it to fry he's got his man on his hip they double-team quickly don't they pass his errors Deron Williams the reminyl Warren Carter's chance to get in the book just in his Carter a 69 sophomore from Dallas Hasan Adams with his second foul team foul number four Arizona for now on Illinois Illinois coming much quicker with the post to post double-teams that oklahoma state did against Arizona and that through chanting FRA that's hard to do he's an outstanding passer and out of the post carter's had his troubles where as they have been from the line but he hits happen clean seven four seven team fire the game tonight from the stripe

Stottlemeyer he took out Deron Williams give his defensive star at least going to come from for the Wildcats [Applause] a bad pass by presenta he threw it into a crowd monkey and hit one of the Illinois players out of bounds Arizona's got to be much stronger with the ball when they come off a ball stream they are going to get trapped and the rotations by Illinois have been Swift [Applause] Brown on Shakur has to give it up now the double team on the sidelines the seven on the shot clock the plot one doesn't know it's [Applause] [Music] and it's Augustine anything on the offensive end

quarterback Darren Williams down to ten on the shot clock has it slapped away by Santa Meyer the cans to tip that out of bounds by Russinovich Illinois goes the other way leading by four coming up

all coming up on Cingular at the half no field goals in the minutes Arizona putting on Cindy and another turnover of Mustafa Shakur not [Applause] Sephora takes it in the other end and for [Applause] nobody stopped the ball in is staying with Celine Stoudemire they've got to have other guys pick up the ball [Applause] this opening half and a two point lead led by as much as seven - for what if they wanted D Brown of the rim but he uses that body and his timing lute Olson will use a time of 31 seconds level before the end of this first half Illinois by for the story of this game so far has been the great defense of Deron Williams on Celine Stoudemire the three-point shooting of Illinois and the offensive rebounding [Applause] the Elena have gotten a lot of second shots Arizona gonna have to talk about that at halftime it shored up shot clock off down to 20 seconds left in the half the eye comes out to help your Sodom are they'd like for him [Applause] this first half well there take Williams on one-on-one Oh William [Music] [Applause] with a forearm and off the ball and delay whistle but with only four team fouls does not cost Illinois anything but does uh put number two on

bring him to the ball to get the choice of coming up with Channing Frye are offered in of its its support ends the last shot and trickles at home and that is the end of the first half in Rose [Music] Brown with eleven Powell 9vl ionize top scorers 38 36 Illinois will send you the Greg Gumbel in New York and east from your local station to get open looks okay that's a bad news but the good news for mood Olsen his team still with in tune without much from Stoudemire all offensively well he got such a great performance in the first half out of Changi fry at 20 points in the paint bath he's going inside because those are body blows another start a fire comes right out firing and he's over five now [Applause] for but one field goal in the last six and a half minutes of the first half or a possible lead with a three that is the sixth turnover by Darren Williams very uncharacteristic for him to make a pass like that he's so meticulous in protecting the ball [Applause] toward 70 Adams works his way inside and he does that as well as anyone and we have it tied again for the seventh time just a little double stack blow and Adams has an advantage against Luther head inside head his smaller atoms can post him up move her head outside the Williams leave around a lot of his good first half Roger foul and he trickles it in the power [Applause] the Sun and Adams [Applause] it's behind the fat supply and he is fouled Shaku / with a fancy pass well Shakur long and athletic and a very good passer but this extraordinary drying the defender James Augustine write to him in order to help out and really the only way to complete that pass was to switch hands or go behind your back he chose the fancier option but very effective second foul on Augustin a good free-throw shooter doesn't come close on that one shooting 83.4% on the sea which says when he steps up the line he thinks about shooting free-throws with his dad back in Chandler Arizona Thanks about shooting in the driveway just to relax himself eleven points eight rebounds and three blocks for canning flop try two minutes into the second half I lead by one Arizona's defense vastly underrated this is a solid defensive team with her head at one flaw battle inside and Stottlemeyer with the quick hands Arizona sending all five guys for the defensive glass there Hasan annum looking in put inside again totally

powell on the drive [Applause] [Music] homicide Darren Williams will short Powell got away with a push off no a whistle which one of the against Roger Powell [Applause] first on him Hassan Adam cyst in the open course the little hesitation the crossover and it wasn't like he was going around some 7-footer he flew by Deron Williams right there and Deron Williams an excellent defender but it just shows that has to pick up that ball in transition if you give Poisson at us a little bit of space where he's going to take up that space and blow by he's 4 for 4 in the game and this is his first shot the benefit to another steel very uncharacteristic to these guards while the benefits over passing here [Applause] soothing effect of the quarterback outside Luther head drives inside and wrong Wow Hasan Adams and that is the first man in the game that picked up three they Luther head doesn't look like that hamstring is bothering him too badly because he has been constant motion on the offensive end constant motion causes everyone to have to communicate on switches and on that last possession Arizona got caught on a switch without communicating and nobody was on Luther had as a result Ingram back in four Illinois and with three thousand son Adam stays where is own tied at 41 to st. Louis for [Applause] from 20 down the women over time against West Virginia earlier [Applause] or in traffic with zenefits he hits it and it's a three standing just back off the line in Arizona leading by as much as four early in the first half is up by three now going to help officers innocence is going to get burned because he has been knocking shots down at a really high rate in this tournament almost 70% stata Meyer the great first of the game on their feet what area code was batting hope comes with leaves from Salim so it is for the Wildcat faithful [Music] 47:40 [Applause] back of those fine Illinois not a summary and certainly a surprise we have the final aid from the Big Ten Wisconsin and Michigan State joining Illinois and Rick Pitino takes Louisville it had been some 19 years since the Cardinals have made it to that leap portal one run by Arizona six old for the Wildcats is trying to stop that and it brings out with benefits for town [Applause] why has to get out by hand [Applause] set up to play Ingram once this rain was asking for he's got it six points off the bench for Jack Ingram it was his three-point defeat the batches at home instead during a game huh also played very well against [Applause] no points off the bench nice saw teardrops on mir inside to make sure none of the big guys wanna battle [Applause] tones and curl of the screen he knew his defender was trailing atoms out on him remember Hassan Adams has rebelled Augustine Batson he's yet to score on the game gets it back fry or within of its within of its raised his hand but I think the pointing at dry [Music] it is renovate a trip to the final four on the line and loot their head really cutting it out on an injured hamstring showing anticipation great hands seven steals by the Illini and how about the passing finding the open man Jack Ingram a big guy who is ready to shoot the ball Ingram has six points in this game and to have your big guys ready to pull the trigger from the perimeter makes you very hard to guard and really spreads the Arizona defense team fouled just two aside down by five Guillemet with the ball they trailed more this game cinamon total [Applause] what is teen victim thirty-five as you can state with 33 six years ago [Applause] 47 10 points for but why ferocious game at boy is he smart using screen just let's on Adams off that baseline screen [Applause] the Sun Adams couple teams and head nearly at this he'll fly from the side the other on this possession into Augustine how about that quick move by James Augustine it so this gotta be stronger with traps of bothering around [Applause] talking Santa Meir the past apply and he stores but he is so clean from the catch to the release wouldn't allow [Music] when Reba with all sincerity necklace cortices laughs I Powell was gold it'll be his first Augustine on the offensive end with the post and the quick jump hook he is left-handed turning over that right shoulder and then off the curl Shakur finding Channing Frye and fry with the terrific catch him and wig finish not allowing that defense to catch up but dick this Illinois team after James Argos lead set that screen he immediately looks for his offense and this team smart enough to look for the screener not just the guy coming off the screen that makes him that much harder to Carr Augustine misses the first he was the MVP of the Big Ten Tournament had three tremendous games averaged a double-double and that's been true here in all the tournament games the NCAA so six games in the postseason for this man Augustine and double-double in each dad Jerry Milwaukee rules now the head coach at [Music] harassing Arizona the end spaz Arizona with a one-point lead 12:40 left but they've got to be strong Deron Williams away from the ball hand checking Stoudemire he has his third foul you see is a husky guard six three and about 2:15 was a wrestler before his high school days and that certainly has translate is a great balance and strength he's had Celine Stoudemire in a headlock from the opening tap official Stoudemire can't hit the water [Music] possession so expressions even though there's where it's both fix+ remaining ingram miss shot rebounded by and a second chance for the [Music] Arizona Ingram [Applause] [Music] nice Stottlemeyer channing frye running Lord 611 and [Applause] but he can see everything underneath the basket and a foul as Augustine goes up within of it's got a piece of it his second time out 11:35 the beauty of the game sometimes the great pass better than the sensational shot final four begins Saturday Edward Jones Dome in st.

you know every freshman class for lute Olson at Arizona since 1990 has made it to the Final Four this senior class of Stottlemeyer and Frey they want to maintain that legacy and this is their a minute or their hour 523 in minutes and seconds left and Channing Frye while stottlemeyers not had a big shooting game fry as showcased his enormous talent against Illinois tonight he's really been the key as has Hasan had opposed to have really made the difference in this ball game in the nation but only one - on that opportunity Roger Powell will fire the green that's not a good shot pressin statistics or shots Roger Powell is a three-point shooter that was off of one pass they didn't make Arizona car and now Arizona trying to spread they're going to take time off the clock to Sodom are weaving inside Oh terrible for again soon Roger Pao he shows his quickness Stoudemire saw the opening like a halfback knifing off tackle Roger Powell sliding underneath and Roger Powell can hit threes but that last shot that he took was way too early in that offensive sequence and it left it bled Arizona off the hook defensively they didn't have to card for a possession he's 2 for 2 tonight from the line 7 points 6 assists this is where he parries you dick over 90 percent on the season you get punished for fouling Selim Stottlemeyer he said that winning the game against Oklahoma State that 15-footer he said hey I watched Michael Jordan all my life he wanted the ball at the end he said that was my biggest shot ever in my college career I thought about Jordan when I hit it to be tracked by Oklahoma State he wasn't giving up that shot no matter what he brown has it knocked away that's out of bounds well Brown himself as they spin it board and credit the defense to the freshman JaJuan McClellan and the Arizona Wildcats starting to feel it boy terrific job by Shakur to get a hand on that ball in Arizona really out working Illinois on the defensive end what's shooting by Arizona here in the Chicago region 66% this season [Applause] the shooting 57% tonight portersburgh pressure trying to get entrapped not the place to pick it up got away with it McClellan a fortunate exchange or give credit to fry for keeping that ball shot clock at 8 tomorrow [Applause] goes inside with the right hand but captain boy what a great job splitting this McClellan and he battles with Roger Powell yes his third Arizona very athletic and right now they are quicker to the ball they have been tougher coming down the stretch this young man from Houston Milty high school the state champions a year

coverage at CDM courts line.com felt that channing frye had been ignored by the national press he said we got to get the Wells Fargo back across the Mississippi and let everyone know about him well you've seen what a tremendous player he is tonight 20 points 11 rebounds four blocks and this is the freshman McClellan at the line another free throw and when you're one of the top five free-throw shooting teams in the nation that's where it pays off games like this you know you're gonna get fouled they're 13 foot 15 tonight Arizona well they've attacked the basket and they've attacked inside that's why they've gotten fouled and Illinois has relied way too much on the three in this game half of the Illini shot have been fifty-two shots have been three that is not a balanced office Luther hits another three and he hits this one dead in the game short hamstring at all with 13 the pressure Hasan Adam [Applause] batted away by at No by Adam so heads defense pays off put the turnover that have just lost the handle give a lot of credit to loot their head for putting desperation time for these Illinois fans who certainly are the partisan crowd here as well as Mont hit can't hit that one rebound and score he has 13 there is plenty of time but deep brown the smallest man on the court playing fake a look ahead tomorrow at the Regional Finals another delicious doubleheader Wisconsin

Williams on Stoudemire [Applause] knocked out of bounds by the bomb grabbing that ball screen and the quick and active hands of D Brown Defensive Player of the Year in the Big Ten led the team in steals 220 left 12 seconds on the shot clock at trouble to his eyes often gets away from the Williams what melanne becomes head on the fly my back [Applause] but if it's there you can pull the trick Jose will one thing Darren Williams takes a short jumper not there but Kyle is he's only six four [Applause] that was a big time clock like a shirt too [Applause] the Wildcats a minute and a half left [Applause] vibrates for these Illini fans a seven-point lead 121 to go [Applause] Levin pulled the seven-point lead Jay Bilas went to strikes you on the game reset two things timeouts by Arizona in the fact that Arizona has the era so Arizona if they get tied out they keep possession of the ball if they can't get it in bounds they can still call a timeout but Arizona's got to be more aggressive on the offensive end they're just trying to hang on they've still gotta look to be aggressive and exploit the overplay [Applause] party and there's the foul favor Illinois losers of only one number three shades Arizona and the mist by McClellan to invade his first four smart foul by Illinois even though McClellan shoots over 70 percent on the season it was for four for putting a freshman on the line with this much pressure vary in color we've made 5 out of 6 on the evening 10 points for McLaren 7870 of this school 111 to go Williams takes it all the way [Applause] back to the rim d Brown called for the foul no time wasted there 63 seconds left where this is the sign of a very smart player yet Stoudemire backpedaling drop that left shoulder and set Stoudemire out of bounds and quickly back on defense looking for a steal and they got the quick foul foul Mustafa Shakur who is not a great shooter but a good free-throw shooter first free-throw tonight 11 points now in the game and this is where really good teams salt games away from the free-throw line and now an eight-point lead [Applause] [Music] final minute Motorhead what a game by her head [Music] while they could play because of that hamstring injury has he delivered [Music] because all day while Andy Brown gets to why five seconds left a three-point game what a comeback by Illinois by for me Oh you know with under a minute that Illinois is going to be slapping at the ball without worrying about a foul and deep brown slaps it Mustafa Shakur the nice pass by Deron Williams and all of a sudden we've got a one possession game the Illini showing the heart of a champion throughout the season when in trouble in the second half they managed to find another gear can they do it with time running out there is on Ingram to bat the ball away Williams could tie it with a three he ball [Applause] the last four minutes [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] La Paz tried to go over the top and Jackie Brooklyn his

Thursday night yeah here's the hero 2.8 seconds left work this man [Applause] and you know dick if they go with another pick and roll situation to try to free up Stoudemire Illinois has been trapping

Louis mentally straight this game that over the [Applause] filed out so they don't have his services Luther Hatter [Applause] and there's D Brown and then he has a tip by Sephora support from behind right babe [Applause] [Music] [Applause] they three he tied it he can Illinois the lead [Applause] happy tonight chanting fries floors you need a little bit shoulder pads in the lane right now 2:22 this fella noisy just refuses to lose how impressive a combat Williams again beautiful TIPA Hasan Adams to get it over the [Applause] Arizona back at fun bye [Applause] [Music] these [Music] [Applause] way fowl is flaming [Applause] every part of the rim loose rubber wants a timeout Illinois in front 85 84 overtime 302 lat [Applause] [Music] our producer Mike [Music] vote smile to left in overtime they've been number one for 17 weeks leading Arizona 85-84 [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the Wildcats he's got the energy to knock down outsider with innovation [Music] [Applause] and on the shot clock the tour Stoudemire [Applause] shooting in the game [Applause] stop [Applause] again [Applause] by four [Applause] and delivered inside the entire evening gets two plus one for the strength of hassan adams but the toughness of Deron Williams knocking down this shot and he has knocked down some big ones in this game and the other guy that has been just a warrior Luther head defensively with the steal despite that injured hamstring and Hassan Adam speaking of warrior mentality on the other now the chance to cut it to a one-possession game vinovich out and in for Arizona the foul was on Ingram his third [Applause] nineteen his season-high he scored 19 against Oklahoma State as well much more [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that orchestrates this offense Darren Williams and he's taken the baton here late going for the threes and that one denied by Channing himself that he got such complete swatting of the ball that went out of bounds Deron Williams putting such pressure on this Arizona defense either pulling up for open threes after coming off the screen or breaking down the defense with his strong penetration a tie install eight on the shot clock [Applause] with a rebound down by three Stoudemire flies in and scores offensive rebounder and something [Applause] William says as well [Applause] we walk into position about a 15 second differential shot clock game clock I'm out [Applause] check the Sun Adams his season-high 21 bow holding in he just gets so high and could have been a three-point play their butts strong not only on the offensive rebound but completing the play and Nick as you mentioned both Stoudemire and Deron Williams [Applause] the floor levels Dean round bow [Music] canvas late they were down by 15 exporters on a 20 to 5 and over time 34.5 18 on the shot clock and again team fouls should Arizona ball it's only a one while commits a foul to shots go to Arizona [Applause] all of the tarts are going good free throw shooters get the ball into their hands and let that make a play when I was 24 chipping in with 21 season-high career with 22 [Music] [Applause] Genesis and Luger head-on a bad leg 20 points for the Elena boy [Applause] one point almost turned over on him saved the day again [Applause] [Music] play by [Applause] they're gonna take time out yes with eleven point eight seconds Arizona calls time and Lou Dolson it will try to draw up a play well you've been on the bench with coach Jay as an assistant national titles what would you draw up here well they've got to look to Stoudemire although he has not shot the ball well he's 2 of 13 tonight he is still the most dangerous scoring threat on the floor the flu dosa decides to go with the pick-and-roll out top Channing Frye is the option right here to seniors decided because Stoudemire has done a very nice job of finding open people in this ball game he did a very nice job against Oklahoma State with his 7 assists he's got 7 assists again tonight he can make good decisions if you put the ball in his hands I like Arizona's chances even though Illinois has spectacularly good defensive team and Bruce Weber calling upon just that one more time as he has since he took over head coach at southern Illinois game-2 champagne wasn't the most popular choice for the Illini alum they loved him to a man woman today he's delivered 61 wins in two years the winningest team boy he's brought up the defense suggested the offense one figures it has to go to a salim stottlemeyers hand and you you have to be very careful here of an offensive rebound tip in by Arizona especially Hassan Adams a superior offensive rebounder McClellan the freshman to throw in the ball ten seconds support eight seconds the three he's got a hurry finally forced to shoot [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
