Love this stat

In 560 minutes of game action, the Illini have led for all but 21 minutes 32 seconds

In 560 minutes of game action, the Illini have led for all but 21 minutes 32 secondsThat is unbelievable and certainly raises the stakes for the rest of th season.

As long as the Ws keep stacking up, I personally don't care

That's what cracks me up with some fans. We were so spoiled so early in the season (Wake, Zags, etc.) that the expectations ARE so high right now.

Another byproduct of our #1 ranking that I've noticed with myself is that to a slight degree, I'm less interested than usual in watching every single basketball game that's aired. I was trying to figure that out the other day, and it dawned on me that maybe it was because until we lose, there's just no possibility of us moving up in the rankings based on another team's performance. Having Kansas's four remaining votes would be nice, but it isn't keeping me up at night...
