Welcome back to Western Illinois’ chase for greatness in College Hoops 2K8. You can find a full explanation of this project + spoiler-free links to previous seasons at the About page of this website. Share it with a friend! We pick up with our Leathernecks in the Sweet 16 of the 2025 NCAA tournament. Here’s a recap of
Whatcha talking about that we might be doing tournament games in this stream???
This stream is about the back to back home games with Dayton and Duke! Reigning Freshman of the Year Matt Boswell is coming to Macomb! The damn DUKE BLUE DEVILS are coming to Macomb! A blue blood. A Tobacco Road team. In Macomb. These games must be played out on Wednesday night! 😁
The tourny is the time for great point guards to shine. Keita gave a good effort, but he was just in over his head under the brightest spotlight. This edition of the 'Necks was a great squad full of talent, but it's really hard to hide your PG the closer you get to the Final Four -- especially against the press. To me, the big question will always be "What if Brandon Price did not move from PG to SG at the start of the season?" Still, Season 18 was a memorable one and nothing to hang your head about. Go 'Necks!
An interesting side story of the rise of the 'Necks is the rise of the Atlantic 10, with Dayton and George Washington turning into perennial powerhouse tourney teams. Does the program just have an egalitarian instinct for mid-major basketball??
