The Bubble begins to take shape
February 8, 2011 2:31 PM
Illinois' Bubble status: Would make the tourney today ... but they don't select the teams today, and the Illini are trending the wrong way at an alarming pace. They've lost five of their past seven games, three of them to Big Ten also-rans. Victories over Wisconsin, North Carolina and Maryland are the saving grace. They're No. 27 Sagarin, No. 15 Pomeroy and No. 40 RPI.
Low point: Scoring 49 points in a road loss to Indiana qualifies, though it could argued that an earlier loss at Penn State and a later loss at Northwestern were equally inglorious.
