Hard to say. We can compete with anyone it appears, but allow anyone to compete with us.
We will be a 4/5/6 seed at this point which means a 13/12/11 first round game. Not a gimme.
Second round will be a 5/4/3 game (or a hot midmajor du jour) which will be a very tough one no matter what.

Need to start playing some D.

The hot midmajor du jour is what scares me about the 2nd round. Brad has shown that he lacks getting his guys prepared for that game, I likely probably think.

If Akron were to beat Illinois in 1 of the first 2 rounds....the bloodletting online would be something to behold.

That would actually be amazing

Even when you take time off you still "got it."

It's like riding a bike. It's likely and probable that even if you haven't done it in a while, you probably would likely remember how to do it.

The committee most likely will not put us against Akron.
But maybe they will.

I don't know. The committee seems to probably like matchups in that round with history. It probably, likely wouldn't happen but it wouldn't surprise me if it did.

Almost 24 hours later and this shit still pisses me off. I’ve never been so fucking angry like this after a loss. Usually I process them and within 10-15 minutes I go on with my day. But this…I still can’t wrap my head around.

We had a 12 point lead with 5 minutes. 10 point lead with 2:30 left. 7 point lead with 40 seconds left. We had ONE FUCKING JOB which was not to play like a bunch of low thinkers. And we did exactly that and more.

This was like Northern Iowa blowing a 10 point lead with 30 seconds in the tourney against Texas A&M. But at least they still had a chance in overtime. PSU snatched our souls out and denied us even that opportunity.

We just gave up 90 points in a 40 minute game to the 169th ranked offensive efficiency team and who’s leading scorer is no longer on the team. Our defense, to quote Family Guy, is full blown aids.

The only positive I can come up with is that sneaking a win out of that abortion may have not sent the message this loss hopefully will. As the Sleepers guys said, Illinois is everyone’s offense’s “get right” game.

It's taken me about 20+ hours to come down off the ceiling.  I sure hope this loss sends the right message.  So many ways we pissed this one away like NW and MSU. 

Taking a step back, we do have 4 road conference wins, which isn't shabby, and all of our road losses were actually winnable.  Give me that in November, and I'd have taken it.  Just win out at home now.

I'm not sure it's that easy to change course at this point in the season.

We have met the enemy, and it is us.

I can recall plenty of talented teams that couldn’t quite put it together during the regular season but then went on deep tourney runs. None of them wore Illinois jerseys, sadly.

I wasn't able to watch last night, but was checking the score periodically online. 

Up 9 with less than 3 minutes to go, and 98% chance to win.  98%!

I couldn't believe my eyes when the final score pop up alert came.  WTAF?

Sounds like there was plenty to bitch about but the bottom line -- This team can't close.  Recipe for disaster.

First or second round out again...

Don't think that it's the offense that's killing us.

Losing to Johnny Ladders will bring Mamador, PeoriaSteve and Tizzyfor3 back here guaranteed.
