Today may determine if Illini will go dancing

Whether Illinois already sits on the right side of the bubble with enough quality wins to earn a spot in the NCAA tournament or the Illini still need to beat No. 15 Wisconsin in today's Big Ten Conference game at Assembly Hall, Illinois junior forward Bill Cole sounded like there's no arguing one point.
Without an NCAA berth and a win or two in the national tournament, the season wouldn't get a passing grade.
"We still feel like we can make a successful season out of it just by getting a win and hopefully vaulting us to the tournament," Cole said. "Then anytime you get one or two wins in the tournament, it's a successful season. From there, it's a bonus."
