so for this weeks slate non-illini, who are we rooting for?
Chad Fleck
- Eureka, IL
We just have to wait for @IlliniInIndy85 to post his handy dandy excel list.
Nebraska’s defense was outstanding last night against Minnesota. If I’m Brad I show the team that as an example of what playing hard on that end of the court looks like.
They should make the tourney and if they keep playing defense like that, with their shooting they could go on a run.

NC-Miami might be setting a record for drawing out the last minute of a game.

- Peoria, IL in a van down by the river
Rest of the team had 33, I hope they are in our region.

We're three years in and I'm still not quite sure what I'm looking at with the Hubert Davis Era
They seem to be a matchup nightmare for us because they both a smaller, quick guard and a low post banger, the 2 player types we’ve struggled most against.
That said, they also don’t scare me for some reason. If we’ve truly flipped a switch and can play close to the type of defense we played vs Iowa, with offense the only team that really scares me is Houston.

So rooting for Indiana at home, and then...should I care at all about the later game?

Does the Iowa outcome (win or loss) have any impact on out resume?
My simpleton view is that it doesn't matter. Iowa wins and it makes our win(s) look better. PSU wins and our loss doesn't look as bad. Neither should have an impact on end of year standings.

IMO only slightly because we play Iowa twice and PSU once.
I personally wouldn’t mind seeing Iowa lose the next two, drop to 16-14 before we play them again, and become thoroughly demoralized.
