I agree 110%. Captain Illini ...a wwI image cements the real meaning of fighting illini in memorial stadium. He only comes out at half time. However he is part of the 3:1. Marches in front of the band and lead the fans in the singing. Can also be a logo for merchandise but no need for anyone...

How many B1G teams do yo think the NIT will take. Seems like there might be 5 candidates, with their kenprom ranking. 47 - INDIANA - like it or not they do have tradition/ name appeal on their side 65 - IOWA - we did beat them twice, but they have nice wins 70 - ILLINI - allegedly fell off the...

The consensus on this board was make the tournament was the go/ no go decision. Frankly, I doubt the teams record has ever been JW's sole criterion. From JWs perspective the measure should be more about a long-term perspective. His evaluation criterion might be more like 1- Do JW/JFG have...

OK I'll stop for now, and wait for the NIT thread to open up. But this board/thread is just filled will way too much orange kool aide. As I said, I hope we win 5 in a row and make the dance!!!!!!!!! I know an NIT bid is not the goal. But a run in the NIT (which might be possible) is...

I hope we win 4 or 5 in a row and somehow get into the big dance, but........ I know no one wants to think about it...but I'll be the first one to bring it up.... How many more wins to make the NIT????? I assume the top 7 (through Mich) will either be in the NCAA or worse case NIT. Who are the...

I agree. While playing Purdue or Wisconsin gives us a chance for a premier win I really don't like our chances against either at all I'd much prefer getting another shot at Maryland. The 8/9 seeds will run into #1 seed (Purdue?) and the 7/10 seed will run into the nbr 2 seed(Wisc?) on...

Its nice to see a thread with at least a few positive thoughts! I know our program is way short of where we want it to be, and unfortunately not even "average" (i.e. 9-9 in B1G) but frankly we should always remember that people on this board drink a lot of orange cool-aide. Ken prom had us as...

33 mins for TJL....that has to be a season high. 36 mins for MM...that has to be a season high. The other 4 mins at the 5 and the 40 mins at the 4 goto Finke 22, Kipper 16 mins, Black 15 mins. Certainly can't say Gross didn't try something new...or if it will work again?

The players have been through a lot....glad to see them get this one! Good for them ENJOY!!

no..we want the illini to win...ouch

this seems like it has to be a season high for mins for lucas..by a lot,

so let me be sure I understand..your saying...we don't have final four talent.

as I said before.. should Kipper be starting over Leron?

hey... we have had some good moments on the road before...usually when down 15-20
