Seth Davis just said that not enough people are talking about Illinois missing the tournament due to the 2-11 quad 1 record. That has been my concern for days now.
Good to see we are all in tune today.Seth Davis on the A-10 halftime show already pimping the idea that Illinois shouldn't be in the tourney (referenced the gawd-awful Q1 record).
You simply cannot ignore that 2-11 quad one record. It's by far the worst of any other P5 school being considered.Seth Davis is an !!! clown

All valid points .......we have experienced all of those aspects that you have brought up........
With that in mind , why then don't we just decline any invitation to the dance so we don't disappoint anyone else so they can go on with their life without being embarrassed by this woeful accumulation of underachieving no nothing lackey's ......
Wow , who pissed in your cheerios ???...............I feel I am the definition of an eternal optimist , but after reading that diatribe , i just want to go back to bed and curl up into a fetal position.......I commend you on your extreme presentation of why we have no reasoning to even think aboot proceeding to the NCAA tournament......
Thanks for pointing out ALL of the beloved's flaws , or do you have any more you want to bring up...?????......
How aboot BU and staff are inept coaches who have no control over the rowdy and immature Illini players .....
Listen , I am a firm believer in the fact that everyone is entitled to their opinion and I will fight for you and everyone else to voice that opinion , freely and without any censorship , but oskee-wow-wow............................
Your offer to help him reset and avoid disappointment was mission accomplished if............................if it is to be a full blooded negative glass half empty person........again , kudos for posting your opinion in the spirit of helping another member of Illini Nation.....
Now , I respectfully ask for you to NOT try to help me reset as I fully believe , regardless of all our warts that you so eloquently pointed out , we have just as much of a chance to win a game or even multiple games in the dance.......if you have evidence that we are ALREADY beaten out of the tourney then please enlighten me and all the other fans here,,,,,
I'm not trying to argue , pick a fight or do anything to inhibit your posting your opinion..........I just wonder if you think you are helping ANYONE or are you just venting a season worth of ranting disappointment that you , yourself has experienced ......
Whatever your intent , it hasn't swayed me in my support of the Illini and i will be watching the selection show to see where we are assigned and then when we play I will be in front of my screen with my Illini garb on cheering and cussing as I always do .......
I REALLY REALLY WILL...............
View attachment 24042it sure is getting harder to figure my constituents out on a daily basis.....it really really is.......................
We may not like it, but frankly he's right. We have zero quad 1 wins in the past 3 months. Only thing saving us is we really have no bad losses.You simply cannot ignore that 2-11 quad one record. It's by far the worst of any other P5 school being considered.
Not arguing that. He’s usually negative towards the Illini is why I said thatYou simply cannot ignore that 2-11 quad one record. It's by far the worst of any other P5 school being considered.
Seth Davis has always gone against the Illini but he’s not 100% wrong. I mean Illinois is in but they may actually not be on the 8/9 line. More of a 10/11.
There a bubble teams that have only played a couple of q1 and are winless. Besides osu we have no other bad losses.Seth Davis just calling out Illinois as a team that should be nervous because 2-11 in Quad 1 games.
And OSU has insanely good metrics (for some reason). That loss was a Q1 loss...There a bubble teams that have only played a couple of q1 and are winless. Besides osu we have no other bad losses.
Q1 can be flawed if your conference does good in non con. B12 is best conference for sure but then the games are just are circlejerk of q1 games. Are all those teams super legit? Idk.
Yes. In a 10/7 matchup. This is what I expect.Could we meet Missouri in an 8 V 9 match up?
No problem. Everything on social media is like water off a duck’s back to me. The mourning process is long and hard my friend. Best of luck.Fair enough bro..............I'm having a rough day with a lot of arthritic pain that my meds usually subdue to a reasonable level........Also having a little melancholy period related to my dad and memories of us planning on going one year down to Jupiter for cardinals spring training.....we just ran out of time .....
Sorry if I came on too strong and I agree with you aboot the shortcomings of this years Illini........I really thought we had the right ingredients for a FF and maybe a natty........I still have that hope but reality is not trending in that accomplishment level........
I'm watching bama-tam right now and wondering how many in the stands there and watching on TV are as confused as I am aboot Miller being allowed to play for bama.........I know he isn't charged with anything , but what if he wasn't a big time BB star ???????.....................The saying that " nobody is above the law " has taken on new meaning for me with Miller's actions and the overall stench coming from a person with # 45 attached to them........
I need to just clear my mind and settle in for a B$G BTT championship game later today , then the selection show......
party on everyone......................

yum yum..........
Not sure I've ever seen a person call out one team like that. No one is talking about it because the bubble is weak this year and we had a winning record in one of the toughest conferences in the country. Seth Davis has always come off as an extreme hater against Illinois. Even when Illinois does well he it seems like it's a chore for him to give Illinois credit. It's like a 'do I have to?' kind of credit. Out of all the teams to pick on that's the hill you want to shout from?? Very weird.Seth Davis just said that not enough people are talking about Illinois missing the tournament due to the 2-11 quad 1 record. That has been my concern for days now.
He made an arse out of himself LAST YEAR when he guaranteed the Moc's would upset us .......And they almost did but he took it way to far......I might try to look it up and see how many times he has been an Illini hater.....seems like it's an annual event with him......Not sure I've ever seen a person call out one team like that.

I feel like the whole quadrant record is a bit trash, it doesn’t take into consideration where a team is at the time but rather evolves how a team continues to do throughout the season. Just because a few teams we beat sucked down the stretch, we shouldn’t necessarily be punished for that. Some teams peak or are playing better at certain times but there isn’t a way to quantify that.
