We're #273 in the luck metric.
Last year we were like #350ish at one point
I donât like using bad luck as an excuse, but it is nauseating to read takes that North Dakota has a better defense than Illinois lol

For the Duke fansIn what sense?
Who said North Dakota's "defense is better than Illinois'?" Holy straw man, Batman!Maybe other teams are also inconsistent. Maybe other teams also have trouble getting energized for some games or have off nights.
When the Illini do that itâs because Underwood sucks and Hoiberg is way better, the team is soft, etc. etc. But when another team like Nebraska has an off night itâs because the 309th ranked defense is better than Illinoisâ.
Is that good for us?

I mean, I think he was trying to chuck it higher into the crowd, but what an all-time miss. Or maybe he was just trying to be Jonathan Moxon.

What would you chalk it up to when it happens multiple times over a couple seasons? Look, I know you hate any critical comments about the team. But you can't argue that we regularly have guys go off against our "D." I don't care what it's ranked, it has been terrible now for two straight seasons, and really subpar for several seasons after Ayo and Kofi left notably. Everyone sees it. Like I said, hopefully there has been some progress in figuring it out this week.
No, people were actually looking at things like their Ken Pom ratings which were dropping.Was always dumb.
âOh no. We lost to UConn. Now I need to retroactively go back and make it seem like my team is terrible so I can be mad.â
In fairness, it was a chest shot. Mom's reactions were really slow.
