That would be great. It seems like in the time I've been old enough to follow sports (about the last 25 years), I cant recall us falling on the 2 or 3 seed line. Seems like most often we have landed on the 4 or 5 (or been good enough to get up to a 1 seed)More importantly, we’re #14 in Kenpom & #14 in NET. Keep those numbers up there and keep stacking wins and a top 3 seed is on the table.
Maybe Kofi ate his baby or something. Seriously, dude apparently has it out for us for some reason.Luke DeCock doesn't have us rank again this week.

have to imagine that if we win the next three our game against Purdue will be a top 10 matchup
Let's keep it going. Don't underestimate the importance of getting to top 10. It's a milestone marker and sticks in people's mind.

That's huge from a marketing standpoint. The big ten will hype it up as the top 2 contenders (likely) in the big ten and as a "can anyone challenge Purdue" narrative. But a top 10 matchup is just worth national attention and likely first block priority of media productionhave to imagine that if we win the next three our game against Purdue will be a top 10 matchup
I'm a big fan of being a 3 seed. Way better than 4 or 5. I'd almost rather be a 6 seed than a 4 or 5.More importantly, we’re #14 in Kenpom & #14 in NET. Keep those numbers up there and keep stacking wins and a top 3 seed is on the table.

I would incorporate his name into a joke, but that's just low hanging fruit.Illinois Fighting Illini Basketball at College Poll Tracker

This is a break down of each week from the preseason on. Looks like Luke DeCock has even had us ranked once this year.
