I don't think Illini fans' expectations have changed much at all in the last 25 years. We have the 17th most NCAA tournament wins, and we expect to be about the 17th best team in the country. Anything above that is gravy. Anything below that, and, well...
Here's a fact: Since the NCAA started seeding the tournament in 1979, we've never had a four year stretch without a tournament win. So as we creep closer to that likely moment in a few weeks (let's be honest - it's either upset a higher seed or 4 years without a tourney win... if we even get in), you can be damn sure Illini fans are restless. Why wouldn't they be?
