[QUOTE="Roundball Shaman, post: 1285937, member: 627417"] Play more basketball? Yes. But I've seen too many Illini NIT embarrassments over the years to want to see yet another mortification and flame out. But I've got the answer. Let's have an all exclusively Illinois D1 tournament for all the teams that don't make the Big Dance. Illini, DePaul, and anybody else within state lines. That way, at least the State of Illinois can be assured of having at least ONE tournament winner every year! No more title droughts! Lots of good PR to sell to recruits. Assured winner! Could be big. People would come from all around... well at least maybe a few who want to get out of the rain or bad weather if it's cold. Play it somewhere around the Dixie Truck Stop in McLean for central convenience. Open all night. But have to wait until the IHSA tourneys are over though because they're playing a better brand of ball. Hey, I'm just trying to smile through the pain. [/QUOTE]
