Up to #17. Not often you lose a game and move up 2 spots. Best 5 loss team in the country.

I think MSU is deep and a fairly tough team, but not Top 10 in country. Have to be able to shoot the three better.
On the other hand I don't see major differences in the Top 15-20 teams as college BB is one big AAU summer league now so anybody might emerge in March.

We moved up due to the circumstance of that game, refs/KJ being fouled out, and the ILLINI showing what they can do even with all the cards are stacked against them...Kudo's to Riley/Rez and Ivisic being sick while playing. Imagine if Humrichous and White would have really come along for the ride. We still would have won that game and I think the national pundits/coaches know that as well.

Pretty spot on really, I would go one further. Top 6-20 I don't think is much different, could the ILLINI beat Tennessee (almost did), Kansas/Oregon (already did) and many more and or lose to them as well?

They could and did and possibly will beat some of these teams. I would not be surprised to see a UCONN/ILLINI rematch this year either.
