[QUOTE="GallopingGhost, post: 1607883, member: 244823"] Ok, I need some talking down. I am starting to overhype myself into Illinois going to Final Four or national champions and nothing less. I realize that, realistically, not getting there is MUCH more likely than getting there. However after seeing this team and following so devoutly for a whole season, my heart can't take anything less than another FF appearance. Beginning of February if you asked me, I would have been thrilled with a sweet 16 APPEARANCE. Now all the media and hypesters have me expecting... too much? So please, someone slap me in the face with some reality. Could we lose to a lock-down Loyola? Will Cade Cunningham burst 80% of america's brackets as they beat us in the S16? Do we lay an egg against a WVU or Houston if we get that far? [/QUOTE]
