Eh, I think going 8-10 and hopefully getting at least 1 B1G tourney win would get them into the Dance.

It would legit put us square on the bubble, that's for sure.

With how weak the conference is this year i doubt were on the bubble, unless we win out the rest of the season and 2 wins in the tourney.
Matic subs in tonight and on his first or second offensive possession throws the most fluent 1st cutter lob (to AJ) I’ve seen all season. He read the pinch post defense perfectly and visualized the opening before it developed. The kid has skills..just needs to get stronger, quicker, and find his niche.
Good thing Alstork stepped up, because we need productivity from the 2 position.
Even in a blowout against Rutgers, Smith barely registered. We really need him to turn a corner......preferably before this year is out. Give him a little confidence going into next season.
Hate to be a negative Nancy but I thought Smith was really noticeable in how poorly he defends at times. He has a tendency to get beaten off the dribble and then make ridiculous swipes at the ball and get called for obvious fouls. If I remember correctly he also had a couple of nice steals as well. It just doesn't seem like he's getting better which is a concern.

Bush-league announcers were so busy talking about Ohio State at the end, the one guy didn't even get the score right. It was 91-60, not 90-61. Way to go Fighting Illini. Win streak at 2.

also it was cool to see Deron Williams back in Champaign all decked out in Illini gear.
Wasn't Barnhart teamed with Deon Thomas several games ago? Now that was something! Only problem with Illini on radio is that the broadcast isn't (wasn't) in sync with TV picture.
I would gladly listen to Brian Barnhart any day of the week. And Deon Thomas.
