Have you watched us play? We are not a top 25 basketball team right now.Dropping 11+ spots after 1 loss and 2 wins shows how little respect nationally Illinois gets. Do we deserve to be ranked, I don't know, yet. Does it matter right now? No, but a little respect would be nice.
It is apparent nobody has paid attention to what is going on with injuries and BS suspensions outside of our little square in central Illinois.
Yes, we looked bleak all night against, grtvu, or whoever it was...WITHOUT AC, Trent, and Jake...yet Michigan beats a 1-5 Tarleton State team by getting hot in the last minute and loses to an unranked team..who is now ranked, but still behind scUM.
Whatever, let's play the season with our projected starters, make the dance and see what happens.

This is a bad attitude to have. As someone NOT from East Central Illinois and NOT an alum, I can assure you people from other areas of the state follow the Illini with just as much heart. It’s a damaging attitude for our own fans to treat us as a local/regional university.Dropping 11+ spots after 1 loss and 2 wins shows how little respect nationally Illinois gets.

With all due respect, we got punked by a team that's not even highly regarded, beat a K-State team picked near the bottom of the Big 12, and then had to fight to beat a team that most people haven't even heard of. You are drinking some serious orange Kool-Aid if you think we are one of the best 25 teams in the country right now.Dropping 11+ spots after 1 loss and 2 wins shows how little respect nationally Illinois gets.

This certainly explains your prior post.Nope, haven't been to or watched a game all year...I just have faith
The poll is a snapshot at this particular time. Illinois at this point is not a top 25 team. The losses with people out will be taken into consideration if need be by the tournament committee. As to no respect, Illinois is the top vote getter outside of the top 25, so not like they are being written off. And only two teams in the top 25 have 2 losses, Villanova that lost to UCLA and Purdue, and Michigan that lost to Seton Hall and Arizona. All four of those losses are “better” losses than the Illini’s losses.Dropping 11+ spots after 1 loss and 2 wins shows how little respect nationally Illinois gets.

I couldn’t disagree moreOnly poll that matters is the final poll of season. Everything else is just window dressing.
