I mean hell what does it matter anymore....
Michigan almost got beat by Penn F'ing State, followed that massive 2 pt win with a Wisky loss, later on loss to Duke, barely beat Iowa, MSU, Ohio St, Wisky and loss to Purdue to end the year. I mean yea their ballin out now but..........
Arizona beat Houston by 5 at the end of the year....struggled agains Utah St.., earlier loss to TT, right after a Kansas loss, I mean they aren't all that the media is crackin them up to be....
UCONN, needed a 17 come from behind hail mary to face us, lost to Marquette, Creighton, almost G-Town/Providence and Seton Hall.
I mean if anyone right now doesn't think the way the ILLINI are playing are capable of beating ANY or ALL of these teams with their defense rising to the top, then to hell with them. Underestimate us, undervalue us, bet against us. I honestly think BU and the staff are going to figure out a way for us to get our 1st Natty. Anything less will be bearable and an overachievement from what we all thought was possible at the start of the season......But F**K everyone else till they bleed Orange and Blue!!!
