# 9  with the 34th ranked remaining SOS to go and a projected 14-6 record and overall 24-8. If we can pull that off without TSJ, we should still get a very good seed in light of that fact and our finish. Will we do this, I doubt is as I see a B1G record of 12-8 realistically to finish. This would give us a 22-10 record without TSJ.

I might be at the point where I'll gladly embrace whatever seed falls our way if we just make it in.

Neither KenPom or Torvik is doing present analytics by removing TSj from the lineup.
Apparently most of the AP voters have not built this in either.

We probably should make the tourney with what we have as the BT is down overall as always.

Apparently Andy Katz has dropped us to 6th in the conference. This Sun Times guy dropped us out of rankings completely.

The prudent thing to do is just keep them ranked where they are until they lose, which they will, and adjust accordingly. Dropping them out of the rankings entirely without even losing yet is “look at me!” clickbait bullshit. Sure he’s one of the best players in the country, but we’ve played one game without him and looked really good. Against a bad team.

I couldn't get past 3-5 paragraphs. Did he mention how many times a team has dropped 15 spots without losing ?

Gameplan: play good defense & chuck as many threes as possible.

It’s like you got naked with the girl you’ve been dreaming about for 2 years, splooged before doing anything and that chance is gone forever.
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

What a hack. Stupid Chicago media person who thinks it's cool to hate on illini. He sucks. And he's dead wrong which makes him look really bad.

He wanted clicks and attention. He got them, in a supremely satisfying way.
