    Illinois #24 in 11/27 AP Poll

    Just as a point of reference the Big Ten has had exactly ZERO teams in the final four in the last three tournaments. In that respect we've been down for a while.

    Shoot less 3's, win more games. Same as last year. Also make free throws and stop turning the ball over.

    Marquette 71, Illinois 64 Postgame

    It was disappointing to see some of the same issues as last year with the 3pt shooting and turnovers. Basically this looks like the same team as last year and I expect the same results. Damask and Goode are nice offensive additions, but it just doesn't look any different from last year to me...

    3/19 Games

    Glad you posted that. I was just thinking why is there only one B1G team in the second weekend. Based on seeding this is as expected except for the fact that Purdue got embarrassed on the first round. Was really hoping to see PSU make it to the second weekend.

    Arkansas 73, Illinois 63 Postgame

    I was always confused when the announcers would say how 'talented' the team is. I mean compared to me and you, yeah they are incredibly talented, but on the court with other D1 players they didn't really look anymore talented than anyone else they were playing. TSJ had moments when his raw...

    Arkansas 73, Illinois 63 Postgame

    We still made it to the NCAA tournament another year and we somehow put together 20 wins. Much better than watching us lose early in another NIT tournament. This game was pretty much exactly how we've played most games down the stretch. Really no surprises. So good season overall.

    Wow, we are sucking. Pretty much in character though. Except the missed layups. That's a new thing. Hopefully 2nd half we'll come back. That seems to be a thing with us as well.

    Yep. We didn't change anything at all. At this point, just go with it. Minimum 40 3pt attempts.

    Couldn't every school outside of the elite blue programs say the same thing?

    Totally agree. The way we shoot the ball, we cannot compete against top teams, but somehow Brad has this team only losing by 3 to PSU, who might actually beat Purdue today. Watching the tournament games yesterday made it obvious we don't have anyone on the team who can consistently bury the...

    Just for the sake of accuracy, the Cubs took over a 100 year break between championships. So yes, almost every Cubs fan waited their entire life to see that.

    We have one, maybe two games left. I don't see this team making it to the second weekend. It's been a good year. At least we will be in the NCAA tournament again. I remember the NIT years.
