Those numbers were only seen here! Not on the national stage.

Wow, in December? That must have been really difficult to go out on a limb like that after the season had already started and we had shown we had some struggles.
Should have left that part out. Point being no one should have expected to make the tourney thus year and nobody should expect to make the tourney next year.

At this point no, but there's a long way to go to see how all this shakes up, and how the roster shapes up.
While true, it would take an incredible recruiting season to drastically change that outlook. We all have our fingers crossed but until the dominos stop falling on our heads and start falling in our laps, it's pretty tough to maintain a positive outlook on next season.At this point no, but there's a long way to go to see how all this shakes up, and how the roster shapes up.
No periscope tonight- but I will say. Illinois will have a different looking team again next season. #illini staff finishing up player meetings tomorrow. The amount of '18 schollies should open your eyes.
Yeah, losing to EIU should've been all the indication any one needed.
Hes not unless he changes his mind at the end of the school year. Lucas and vesel are gone. Kipper no idea one way or the other. Haven't heard anything. Black may explore pro options but way less sure of that than the other 2. Wouldnt expect a decision soon.
Through out all this stink Underwood still got his $25,000 attendance bonus.
Are you trying to say you don’t feel the vibes ?
Just think it is ironic that after one of the worst BB seasons in memory that we give a guy who gets a C grade at best a bonus for a 10% increase in fan attendance. He very easily could have acknowledged that milestone and given that $25,000 to a needy charity. He would have gotten a lot more mileage out of that gesture. Sorry, but it just came across as a little selfish.
Feeling the vibes, absolutely, but concerned too, absolutely.Go illini

Totally disagree with assessment of TeJon. Best defensive guard, best passer, and good at taking it to the basket and only backup to Trent at this point. Not sure who you think is going to replace him but it certainly won't be a freshman.

“That’s a little selfish!” says the guy demanding someone else take a very weirdly specific and unnecessary step to meet his personal desires for optics.
Need to save the doom and gloom for when we know the roster. Smith and Alstork don't lower the expectation and we competed well this year without a big man. Add Kane and a year for Ebo and we have to be better unless we lose a significant piece to transfer.
Well, "competed well" doesn't cut it when you only win 14 games (and 4 in conference). We need to do more than "compete well".
But yes, I agree that we should probably save the doom and gloom for if/when we find out that Black transfers. Then, it's every man for himself around these parts.....
