Interestingly, Paul Klee has us at 23. Still a little Champaign in him I guess.

Greenburg has a kid at Illinois too. I think we are pretty well represented in the AP.
Duke loss rankings will be a mess. I say Baylor 1 USC 2 … Illini 15. Rankings are starting to matter now that we entered into the second half of the season and are based on performance rather than perception

I'm thinking we'll be more like #21.
I hope so…. Even with all the losses this week, I just don’t see too many teams dropping from the top 25. It’s a really tough field right now. Especially when playing in a conference that is perceived to be having a down year.

Miami is currently #82 in KenPom. I don’t see them getting into the top 25 this week even with their win at Duke.

Yep
15 is too high but we will get there eventually
I’m still not confident we get ranked. The voters like big shiny wins, so I won’t be the least bit surprised if Miami and/or Oklahoma leapfrogs us.

Agree. #21 - with Kofi's picture used in the Illinois MBB announcement once the rankings are released.
Are we overlooking Nebraska?
Doubtful. Coach Underwood has our boys dialed in and I think we'll dominate them
Agreed, and I believe Trent and DMFW understand the limited number of games they have left for the beloved. I think their focus and sense of urgency to make the most of every second on the court is infectious throughout the team too.

Geez, I thought we buried the Curbelo thread. Give it a rest, please

Warren Nolan is very high on Illinois to finish the season strong. They're projecting a 17 point win at Nebraska and our only conference loss for the remainder of the year to be at Purdue by 5 points. Their model has Illinois finishing at #10 RPI. I'll take it.

You can’t really take this seriously when it projects Iowa to go 15-1 the rest of the way in the big ten……Warren Nolan is very high on Illinois to finish the season strong.

I hope we use Belo like we did last year. Come off the bench and play 20 minutes a game. He will provide a spark and give Trent a break at times and move Trent off the ball at other times. We need another guy to spell all 4 starting guards. The freshmen will get less time but that is ok.
No...Nebraska IMHO has some low D-1 talent in their rotation. Their two best players shouldn't give us an issue, one is a thin freshmen(highly recruited) the other a ball hog. If Curbelo ok, good game to give him 10-15 minutes.
I believe Nebraska will try to double team Kofi and hope we can't hit our 3s

Does that matter?I was referring to the posters on this board.
I would be shocked if the Illini go 19-1. They are good but I don't think anyone has ever won 19 B1G gamesWarren Nolan is very high on Illinois to finish the season strong.

My wife likes us not playing on weekends, that way she can crack the whip and make me finish the bathroom remodel.
