#14 in AP.


#10 in KenPom
#11 in Torvik

A lot of parity in college hoops these days.  Watched NV at new Mexico st last night and nmsu looks exactly like a team that would knock us out of the tourney

Hard to argue with the Top 10, other than Duke at 9....feels like they are that high based on history and name. They are not a Top 10 team imo this year.

It’s basically UCONN and Purdue then a bunch of teams trying to get to that level. If there’s a second tier between the two, UNC might be the only team in it right now.

I would throw Houston in that top tier right now. UNC is certainly very good but just lost at home and maybe not ready for prime time yet.

We need a win Saturday and a big win vs PU or Wisconsin to get in that deep run possibles group. 
We look like a team on paper that could be but do not have any high quality wins.

With some other key losses in and around the 10 spot, how far does our ILLINI drop after losing on the road vs a preseason#4 team?

Landing in the 12-13 spot seems reasonable??

We're now #12.
Now have no wins versus presently ranked teams.
The good news is Torvik has moved us up to a 3 seed. Would be good to get off the 4 line.

That said we have as good of a chance as anybody in group of 15-20 teams in second tier below top 3 to make a nice run.

No wins against ranked teams and one of 2 P5 schools with no losses by double digits.

I believe that we're actually the team this year that no one wants to play.  Making our FTs is a large part of that.
