Anybody else watch college basketball? This season has been very interesting so far and the Illini have been the surprise of the year. I think they started out ranked something like 70, and as of today are ranked #10 in the country.

And I hate IU, a bunch of cheaters that should be sanctioned for their recruiting habits. IU is overrated and one of their stars is out for the year with a broken knee cap. Let the crumbling begin!
We've played good against ranked teams so far. Beat Gonzaba, Butler and Ohio State. I'm not worried.
OK, so BEATING down 3 ranked teams and losing two 2 ranked teams doesn't look that good? Nobody is undefeated. This isn't college basketball. Real good teams still lose.
4 wins against top 15 teams will look good come selection time even if the Illini's conference record against a strong Big 10 isn't all that stellar. They are basically an inconsistent team that can play up or down to their level of competition. Fun and frustrating to watch all in the same game sometimes...
Regardless, this still stands: No party in the Champaign room for the Hoosiers tonight!!!!
Yes those wins will look good. All I am saying is they need to win 1-2 of the next 3 games. They also need to beat the lesser teams like Iowa, Penn State and Nebraska.
No they don't. Are you crazy? I think if they lose out the rest of the year they would still have a good chance at making the tournament. Their strength of schedule is one of the best in college.
They were considered "Last 4 in" before that win. They are not that high on the list right now. Lose out and they won't even get a top NIT seed.
