I've wondered this too. I see the word "no" in there but if that's the hook, its pretty weak imo.

Huh? You don't see MIZ NOZ in that sign?
According to the math on TeamRankings.com we have a 24% chance to make the tourney as of now. 36% chance if we get 20 wins and it jumps all the way to 72% chance of we win 21. Need to finish the year 12-8 to feel good about ourselves. MizNoz on the other hand...1% chance
If we win on Wednesday, go 10-8 in the B1G and get one in the B1G tournament, that makes 21; which strikes me as exceedingly doable.
lol, wow, I do now

You must be fun at parties.
I'd like to see a blowout and get guys like AJ some tick before we start conference play. I have a feeling that this one should be closer than it should though I don't think we lose. I'll say we get a 80-68 win.
Also of note for those playing at home, our current RPI is 37 and SOS is 16. We need to keep this up.

It makes me so sad what the crowd for this event (this used to be an EVENT) has become. I'm optimistic that we can have a solid Illini turnout (it only takes like 10,000 to pretty much fill our side, right?), but I expect a tiny MU turnout. Hopefully we beat the heck out of them in front of a sea of Orange.
My annual piece of advice - don't use ESPN's RPI, they don't calculate it correctly.
It's at 46...

The Mizzou turnout has been putrid the past few years. I expect similar attendance from them again.

It also predicts our final record as 18-13 . . . so not making the tournament as of now
Did it predict us beating BYU, NC State, and VCU after losing to Winthrop and getting hammered by WVU?

How can you not see it...
The only thing I can figure is people are looking for a capital "N" when it's actually a lowercase "n"

They aren't even talking about the game on Tigerboard. They are just talking about who will replace Kim Anderson.
Reminds me of another team when they lost three straight in November

I don't think you understood my point...
I happen to love that picture. Being from the stl area makes it even more fun for me. I make it my temporary Facebook profile pic every year.
I'm just trying to figure out why someone WOULDN'T get it.
So true...
It wasn't that long ago that Mizzou was dominating this series with consistently ranked teams.
Anyway, lets kick them while they're very far down and make it four straight Illini wins.
