[QUOTE="Tevo, post: 1182381, member: 185365"] Interestingly, and perhaps counter-intuitively, over the past 8 seasons (from 07-08 to 14-15), only 43% of Big Ten teams have finished over .500. And the Illini only did it twice in those 8 seasons (08-09 and 09-10). We've been bad for a long time, and we have some top notch coaches and programs to contend with. Expecting the Illini to consistently be above .500 is actually asking for more than most Big Ten schools achieve. Still, that's the nature of the thing. To me, the record will take care of itself once we start playing good basketball. I'm not as worried about the record, right now, as I am about our complete lack of cohesion on defense and disjointed, one-on-one offense (which both depend on recruiting). If we were losing close games to good teams it would be one thing... [/QUOTE]
