Wisconsin is playing Georgetown now. If B1G refs actually call the new post rules then Ethan Happ is going to be almost impossible to defend.

Hey what was the score of the infamous Illinois vs Penn State game. Both in the 30's.

Maybe it's because I live in Hoosier territory, but I suddenly feel just a little bit better.

Do people think crean will get fired over this loss?!?!? No he won't. And they are the number 3 team in the country haha the only big difference is that they didn't lose at home ....

Winthrop is more talented than IPFW, too. And while it wasn't at home, IU had a lot more fans than IPFW.

The difference here is that IU has been good recently and is projected to do well this year. This game is an instance of when a good team has a bad night. Their past results and future projections show that losing to FW is an anomaly and not their norm.

Illinois hasn't played well for the past several years and has lost a fair share to inferior teams. Losing to Winthrop at home isn't so far fetched for us with our past results and future projections. That is why people are jumping off the band wagon.

Creen has built up some clout with recent success while Groce has not.

That being said...boy do I love that IU lost.

Losing to Winthrop at home was still not Illinois's norm though. Illinois and Groce has generally been good in non conference, just awful in conference season. But i still get your point. If Illinois had beaten Kansas this year, nobody would give two craps about one loss to Winthrop.
