    If we beat Iowa Sunday I’m seeing an extremely likely scenario where Iowa gets the 7 seed and we could play them back to back. Don’t love that or am I missing something

    Rutgers 70, Illinois 59 Postgame

    Yes great point and to BU point we got punched in the mouth. You can take that as guys not shooting well, getting out played, not having energy, being tentative. At the end of the day it’s one game, it sucked but as a fan base we move on and beat MSU. I think people forget where we’ve been for...

    Illinois 76, Maryland 64 Postgame

    As I look at this team and to make an analogy as a three headed monster: I feel we have a huge monster as #1, 3 pt/outside shots are #2, and anyone (maybe curbelo) driving to the lane dishing passes is #3

    Pregame: Illinois at Minnesota, Tuesday, January 4th, 6:00pm CT, FS1

    Within the last 2-3 weeks this thing is running quick and hoping it stays that way (caught it myself) I’m optimistic in 2-3 weeks this will have run through most teams etc. Definitely better now then in March

    Pregame: Illinois vs Missouri, Wednesday, December 22nd, 8:00pm CT, BTN

    I agree that is too much. It’s all based on KenPom Illini-14 Mizzou-145 If you like betting this is how Vegas makes its ncaab spreads. I think the Illini win but maybe don’t cover

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

    See ya Groce! I think this will be better for the long term. The final straw for me with Groce was the Rutgers game.

    Honestly dude, go on the Ill St. fan board and have fun. Give me Ill St. and Middle Tenn. St. on a neutral court and it would be the same result as us vs. VCU. PS. VCU is a better team than both of those...

    Makes sense, so we should be rooting for Wich. St. cause that will clear a spot. I don't see how they get an at large with their schedule.

    Can anyone explain the logic of Illinois St. being in over us on a lot of brackets? They have literally played no one except Wichita St. who they split...I have to believe the committee won't put them in.

    Pregame: Illinois vs Penn State, Saturday, February 11th, 1:00pm CT, BTN

    If this is technically on the wrong thread I don't want to hear it cause I want nothing more than the Illini to run the table and end with a last 4 in berth starting with this win vs Penn St. However, from a sports phych. aspect this is something that has come to my mind throughout groces...

    Pregame: Illinois at Penn State, Saturday, January 28th, 3:30pm CT, BTN

    Not sure if anyone has posted this or even if the spread is out but knowing how penn st has played teams at home (beat mich st) and Illinois on the road...I would say Penn St. Is favored -2.5. This would be a great win for this team on the road. Penn St. is not a cupcake away
