[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1672863, member: 623415"] You left out a few things. Yes, they were undefeated in regular season, but because of Covid, they didn’t play the other top 2 teams — Texas Southern, which they lost to in conference tourney, and Prairie View, which was also undefeated. They also lost all 5 of their noncon games by an average of 24.6 points. The only noncon team they lost to by less than 23 points was Iowa St, which they lost to by 15. Iowa St was 2-21 last year. By the way, Jackson St also lost its all everything player Tristan Jarrett. And I’m not sure what the defensive efficiency ranking you cite is supposed to mean. Not gonna tell me they were the 5th best defensive team in nation are you? If they were in BIG, they wouldn’t even have been fifth best defensive in the conference. Could the Illini have lost to Jackson St last night? Sure, anything is possible. We’re they likely to? No. And if they had it would have been their worst loss in quite some time. [/QUOTE]
