The sky is hardly falling at Illinois

So with all that being said, what's the point for over-the-top negativity for a basketball program -- and its fan base, for that matter -- when it really isn't warranted or make sense?
Being right there to the very end for Alexander and finishing as the runner-up does, well, in a word: suck. But even in that lost cause -- and I admit, this is totally looking through things with rose-colored glasses -- the fact Illinois is back in the hunt with players like Alexander says something. Illinois was not in that position a year or two ago. Heck Illinois hasn't been in that position for quite some time.
