Luke DeCock doesn't have us rank again this week.
Im changing my name is Luke DeCock ASAP.
Luke DeCock doesn't have us rank again this week.
French plums?I would incorporate his name into a joke, but that's just low hanging fruit.
Exhibit A as to why the AP poll is a joke. But, hey, at least he has us "under consideration" in his little column someone lets him publish somewhere. At best, he is an uninformed boob. But I doubt that is the story here. Would be mildly interesting to look into his history and background as I'm sure there is a reason, but not interesting enough to actually do it.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.
Evanstonians aren’t all bad.Maybe Kofi ate his baby or something. Seriously, dude apparently has it out for us for some reason.
Edit: Looked it up. He's a native of Evanston. That explains it.
Went to Loyola with him. He's from Wilmette.Evanstonians aren’t all bad. View attachment 29527
It seems like the 1 seeds are dominant when we are in the upper part of the bracketI'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.
To me this is more important than your ranking. I understand all the benefits so we don’t need to discuss if rankings matter but they make no sense. Also just like refs get critiqued so should voters. They should have to justify votesMore 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.
Fair enough. He was just born in Evanston than?Went to Loyola with him. He's from Wilmette.
That would be if his name was Luke "DeBalls". I'll see myself out.I would incorporate his name into a joke, but that's just low hanging fruit.
No hospitals in Wilmette, born in Evanston, just like me.Fair enough. He was just born in Evanston than?
Twig and berries, as they say across the pondFrench plums?
DeCock got burned by Kofi too many times. Still holding a grudge it seems.Maybe Kofi ate his baby or something. Seriously, dude apparently has it out for us for some reason.

I don’t understand rankings MSU is 5-5 has a NET in the 40s and get votes because they beat Baylor. Just show you the power of your brand.
I think they are a good team who played a tough schedule but only truly has 1 win other 4 wins were against weaker teams
That is last year's final Sagarin rating. He is not doing it anymore.MSU is an outlier. How many years has Izzo scheduled tough, lost several, and then used that to fuel a great run through the conference or tourney? And if you believe in statistical measures, that is a very, very tough record, James Madison not withstanding. Some of the stats sites: Sagarin has them at 22, schedule 3rd in the country, and 9 of their games as top-25. Torvik has MSU at #7, 5th best offense, and projects them at 14-6 in conf. KenPom has them 23. Their resume is deceptive. That's still a very, very good team and will be tough in the conference race. Izzo is doing what Izzo does (i.e. not worried about Nov/Dec and focused on March).
Jerry Glanville always left tickets for Elvis...I say Underwood and Whitman always have a ticket for Bill Murray...who at least could show up...unless Glanville knew something none of the rest of us knew.Evanstonians aren’t all bad. View attachment 29527
Fortunately Whitman cleaned up the mess Mike Thomas did in such a short amount of time.2008-2020, may have been one the worst stretches in program history. Thank God, Whitman cleaned up Geunther's mess.
Guether ran Self out of town. Refused to even renegotiate his contract. Then hired Weber and killed a mini golden age of Illinois Basketball.Fortunately Whitman cleaned up the mess Mike Thomas did in such a short amount of time.
Surprised someone doesn't examine DeCock's anti-Illini bias. When you're the only voter who doesn't have them at least at #20, something's fishy.
