[QUOTE="Illini2010-11, post: 2003394, member: 748820"] You clearly stated that BU cannot be trusted to win a big game by looking at Quad 1 record over last two seasons. Yes, that statistic stinks, but luckily the tourney is not played on the road. To be clear, beating a tourney team on the road is not an easy task, even for top ranked teams. In addition, over the last two years, the Illini have won three top 15 neutral court games, including one against then #2 ranked Texas at MSG. You are relying too heavily on Quad 1 record and the lack of beating a tournament team on the road over a relatively short sample size to say that Brad can't be trusted to win the big game. Even over the last two seasons, the Illini have some pretty big wins. Don't write off this team because they lost on the road to #17 Tennessee, #1 Purdue (without TSJ), and now Northwestern (yes, the MD loss at home is baffling though). I believe this team will get on a roll once TSJ gets the rust off. [/QUOTE]
