But if iowa splits their last 2 its a round robin and we have best record.
7-seed still in play if Illinois/Michigan/Iowa finish tied at 9-9.

I haven't felt this good after a win since November 2nd when a certain Chicago team broke a long drought.

You might be right. That was a huge test, and they all passed it. On so many levels. Malcolm, Groce, Tracy, and all the rest, the fans....every one brought it tonight.
Make absolutely sure you watch Malcolm's postgame halfcourt interview with BTN.
Its one shining moment.
Its one shining moment.
It is the pinnacle of the season.
As great as MH undoubtedly was, Mav had a great game we should all be talking about... 4 assists for the big guy in additional to a good game scoring and rebounding. Our ability to run the offense through him is huge to opening things up
...and there was a blow-hard in the game thread that said "This team wants to lose this game". After watching Malcolm's post game interview, I'm pretty sure that this team did NOT want to lose this game. Great effort from start to finish, with no give up at any time, no matter what. We need this same effort on the road this weekend. Can't let up just because they are at the bottom of the league. Hopefully, we can sour their senior day!

For today, I am fine with that. They played great team basketball.
But at the end of the season, I still hope that a bigger view is taken.
I must say, JG has moved me from "no way we retain" to "we'll have to look at that"
Hill got picked hard on the final play.

This team has heart and they are not giving up. Proud to have them represent the Illini. Great win when they needed it most. Now on to bigger and better days.

I don't trust B1G refs to make that call correctly. :tsk:
I hope John Groce gets laid tonight.
And we may have to wait to see if that actually happens as the Wolverines play the final game of the regular season on Sunday night at 7PM when they travel to Lincoln to take on Nebraska.
Still think Groce's schemes have a ways to go offensively (I know, crazy to read that after the shooting performance we just had) because outside of Mav inside, we have no way to get buckets around the hoop off the dribble or consistently off the pass (TJL has DRASTICALLY improved our offense in this area, praise be). I will say it is incredible what TJL has done for our defense and a good sign should Groce be retained that we are playing high level defense again without Nnanna guarding 3 positions.
Go illini.
Go illini.
WFU beat Louisville...
That was an outstanding effort by the Beloved against a very talented, but young and somewhat sloppy, Sparty team. I think it was the best game Leron Black has played for us. If that kid keeps up that 3 ball I'd say we're looking pretty good at the 4 spot for awhile (with he and MF).
