Mission: Possible
February 5, 2005 11:10 PM
As the Illini hit-parade gains more attention after yet another impressive victory (13 3-pointers against MSU!), fans and pundits alike are beginning to believe; believe that it can happen, where it is an undefeated regular season. And it is true that it can happen, although it is not a sure thing.
For your viewing pleasure, we have decided to chart the Illini's remaining games along with their chances of victory. The Big Ten Tournament games have been included (although technically they are not part of the regular season), but hey what we're really after here is Illinois' pre-Big-Dance record. And it's more fun to predict it than to actually wait and watch the games play out. (Note to you gambling degenerates, although this chart is 100% accurate you are not authorized to use this info to help feed your depravity at the sports book.)
