Would the opposite of poetry be prose? In any event, Weber ending Groce's tenure would be ironic if not paradoxical.

No. Just no.
Honestly if we are in first four out after today it's likely that winning two may be enough.

We did Weber's last year.
Edit:
Actually we bowed out and said we would not accept an NIT offer if we received one.

I'm guessing that bracket didn't account for our loss. Otherwise it makes no sense whatsoever.

Illinois would have accepted an NIT invite in 2012, but was snubbed. (It was the CBI tournament that Illinois would've turned down back then.)

Both Lunardi and Palm considered the loss today.
People still want to see us in the field. Except for a few posters. And teams that don't belong make it all the time.

Both palm and lunardis have been updated. We are in first four out in both.
We will if we win enough games to get selected.
Of course, that looks REALLY unlikely now. But it's still possible that we could earn a totally legitimate, deserved tourney berth with a string of enough BTT wins.
Why give up on the season before it's over, and we're so close to the end? I mean, Illinois wins two games in the BTT and you're telling me you won't be glued to the TV for the next one, hoping against hope that we win?
Ah, no we're not too inconsistent, welp maybe a miracle

We are projected as a 12 seed on the updated bracket matrix..... I know , I know. It's just what I saw.
Yeah I've looked around and somehow it seems we're not out. We just need some help. Off the top of my head about half of these teams would need to lose early in their conference tournament or their next tournament game:
Syracuse
Vandy
Michigan
Iowa
ISU
MSU
KSU
RI
Cal
And then no surprise bid stealers. All I can is it's march and crazy things happen. Buckle up and enjoy(?) the ride

Definitely agree. Should be an interesting week.
You need to wait until the following day.
Well surprisingly Palm has Illinois as the first one out and Lunardi has them among the first four out. They both have been updated. So yes a couple of Big Ten tournament wins might be enough. If the combination is Michigan and Purdue that might be enough. It would add 2 quality wins, one of which would give the Illini their first signature win. I am not going to assign a probability of that happening but it shows that the NCAA is still a possibility.

Here's the deal:
To even have a remote possibility of making the first four in Dayton, we have to beat Purdue. This Illinois team may not even get the chance to play against Purdue, and surely won't beat them if they do.
Illinois will be hosting a game in the NIT, maybe two. That's what we can all look forward to, I guess.
