Chapter 1: What recent NCAA Tournament actions are highlighted?

Rahimi Harrison-Grody. That sounds so crazy. 104.3 the score. Wow, I like that. Middays 10-2 on 104.3 The Score. Sharp. And McCarty for three. With the rebound by Wagler, and that'll do it. And Illinois is gonna go to the Elite Eight for the second time in a couple of years. And the foe will be familiar. They'll take on one of their opponents from the Big Ten, Iowa. I'm sorry.

35.725 - 38.188 Unknown

The Illini are going back to the Elite Eight.

39.4 - 60.683 Leila Rahimi

That's our friend Kevin Harlan on the call, courtesy of TBS, Turner Sports, TNT as well. And we continue on the payroll, going to our hotline with our friend Tim Doyle. Tim Doyle joins us as well on Twitch, twitch.tv slash thescorechicago. Tim, always good to talk to you, especially this time of year. How are you?

61.237 - 62.379 Tim Doyle

I'm doing fantastic.

Chapter 2: How does Tim Doyle assess Illinois' performance in the tournament?

62.439 - 88.054 Tim Doyle

I'm actually outside today, guys. And if you're watching on Twitch, you obviously see the blue sky behind me. But what I've learned, Rahimi, Marshall, is if I'm tan, it's actually a two-point move in how much better looking I am. I'm like a six in real life. But if I'm tan, I move to an eight. So once the weather starts to turn a little bit, it's usually the best season for Tim Doyle.

88.154 - 111.802 Tim Doyle

You know you sound like a middle-aged white woman when you say that, right? Hey, we all have strengths. Now, when I was younger, Marshall, I know you didn't have to do this, but maybe Rahimi did. I would hit the tanning beds during the season when I was playing at Northwestern. Don't tell this story. I felt like if I was tan, I was more athletic. I felt better on the court.

112.223 - 123.424 Tim Doyle

But I did used to bring like a Playboy bunny with me, like a sticker, and get like a Playboy bunny sticker like burned into my hip. So don't judge me, okay? I was a product of the times.

123.404 - 142.701 Leila Rahimi

First of all, you did not have a Playboy Buddy sticker. I do have friends who did, and we did always say, and I still believe this, I'm not a tanning bed girl per se, but I like to be outside because if I can't tone it, I tan it. So guess what I end up doing a lot of? Laying out outside. Because one battle is easier to fight than another.

142.741 - 161.347 Tim Doyle

Exactly. Marshall, you don't have that problem. For us, lighter-skinned folks, okay, the tan is a huge difference. And if you recognize, Marshall, like, hey, your tan looks good, us lighter-skinned folks, we feel better about it. You're like, ah, thanks so much. Because it takes time, it takes effort in order to move up those two points.

161.367 - 168.717 Leila Rahimi

Hey, hey, first of all, everybody gets darker in the summer. Like, that is a real thing. I have seen friends of...

168.697 - 195.598 Leila Rahimi

that any any type of melanin in your skin you get darker in the summer the pursuit of melanin is crazy the tanning beds were real he's as a member of uh the worst generation aka the frosted tips and the whale tails and whatnot the white stitch jeans and the bootlegs tim is correct about this there was a lot of effort given to tanning the people paid for that is true we will allow it my mom got mad at me and she's like i she's like what are you doing

195.578 - 212.836 Tim Doyle

Like, honestly, I was watching Illinois last night, and I was like, the only thing missing for these guys is a tan. Like, because they got a lot of white guys on that squad. I mean, this is a tournament of exciting whites. And I can say that because I was one time an exciting white, okay?

213.217 - 235.502 Tim Doyle

And when I go to Jewel or Binnie's, there's a section in the liquor store for white wines, and it says exciting whites. So Illinois has got a lot of exciting whites. I love their matchup against more exciting whites in Iowa. That was an awesome game off. They beat another exciting whites in Nebraska. I think Iowa has absolutely no chance in this game. No chance?

Chapter 3: What insights does Tim Doyle provide about Iowa's chances against Illinois?

798.86 - 799.802 Leila Rahimi

He has a minivan.

799.822 - 800.764 Marshall Harris

That's an attack.

800.784 - 811.547 Tim Doyle

We text each other minivan emojis all the time. By the way, Marshall, if you know this, I have a vacuum in mind. So when these kids make messes, we get the built-in vacuum already.
