Illini head to NIT after NCAA snub

"We were stunned," guard Demetri McCamey said. "We thought we were in. We thought we had a pretty good weekend and showed we could compete with the top teams in the country. The committee thought otherwise. Now we have to show they made a mistake with what we do in the NIT."
That berth was only a consolation prize for the Illini after they watched for their name to pop up on the NCAA board.
"For me, it was easily the one of the toughest things in basketball," Illinois forward Bill Cole said. "You're watching until that last team gets in, then suddenly there are no more spots left. It's a terrible situation."
