rutgers ain’t that badNext test for this young team: Don't have a let down against a bad team after the big upset. Helps that this game is at home.
Excuse me, I’m on an irrational high right now. 5-3??? 8-0!!! Let’s run this thing!!!Dare to dream finishing 5-3 in the last 8 for a 9-11 B1G record? Finishing out of the bottom 4 and avoiding playing in a Wednesday game in the BTT would be awesome.
Love it !By the way if the game holds currently and Rutgers loses then we will be in a tie for 10th and have the easiest remaining schedule in the BIG. We are on pace for a first day bye.
I'll have what you're having. At 16-15 with a top 5 SOS and winning 10 in a row, we would be firmly on the bubble. Ok, attack away.Excuse me, I’m on an irrational high right now. 5-3??? 8-0!!! Let’s run this thing!!!

This isn't too far out of the question if Illinois then go on and win 2 or 3 games in the Big Ten tourney. That would have us at 18/19-16, and Alabama got in last year at 19-15 thanks to a good run in the SEC tourney (and I believe the committee wanted top NBA prospects showcased, so having Colin Sexton helped. Same reason why Oklahoma got in despite a mediocre finish to the season). So, thanks to the SoS and the NBA prospect boost, Illinois doesn't have to win the Big Ten tourney in order to get in.
How can this Illini team best position itself to get two wins in the B1G tournament? Well, step right up to mred's 2019 Big 10 MBB Bracket Generator and Tiebreaker and generate all the scheduling combinations and permutations that your little heart desires.Would 18-16 (with 2 wins in the B1G 10 tournament) get us in the dance? I know it won't happen...but let's have a little fun.
NO BUBBLE TALK YET. First let's take care of Rutgers and then if we somehow pull off the upsets at Ohio State and Wisconsin, then MAYBE we can start the bubble talk.
Guys, we lost to FAU. There is no bubble. BTT is the only way.
