If anyone wants to know what the Illini would look like against Kansas, just look at Arkansas right now and there you go.

Of course Arkansas is now bricking 3s instead of attacking the basket like they did against us :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Watched the first few minutes and they're playing exactly like their fans were worried they'd do against us.
And Kansas attacking and keeping them in transition and at the rim, exactly what should have worked for us.

Food for thought. I think it was Bob Knight that said the addition of the B10 tournament could affect the B10 performance in the NCAAs. It is thought that he meant that it made the NCAA tournament seem anti-climactic to participating teams. Lately our teams seem tired in the tournament. Possibility?

If you look at the three years before Illinois lost to Loyola, the btt champ went to the sweet sixteen, national championship, and final four. The tournament champ has at least 3, maybe 4 full days of rest before their first ncaa game. Small sample sizes are small.

I turned on Michigan Vandy when it was an 8-point Michigan lead with just over a minute left. Thought ā€œthat sucksā€ and moved on. Canā€™t believe Vandy came back and hate myself for missing Michigan humiliation.

It was entertaining to watch.

He already SFA to the sweet 16, correct?

I just looked it up and found that while Underwood won 1 tournament game at SFA, basically his last 2 season there have been vacated because of ineligible players playing.

He advanced to the second round in two separate years, one of them was vacated. Never been to a sweet sixteen.

Itā€™s incredible how many horrible mistakes Arkansas makes while still being able to hang around

Courtney Green getting the air time he wants. At least his bad calls aren't screwing the Illini.

SFA vacated most of their games from 2013-2019 across almost all sports due to administrative errors. The error was not BB specific. Other than vacating the wins, I'm not aware of any other penalties imposed. If a no name got away without penalties from the NCAA after admitting a multi year error, it had to be trivial.

Arkansas struggling from 3 (1-12). Like us (kinda, sorta), if they had a serious 3pt threat, they would be dangerous.

Any chance we could play like Princeton, with the talent we have. Could make Big Ten teams not feel very comfortable. What say Brad, gonna take some buy in but nasty to face for opposing teams. Just a wild idea!
