2021 Hoops Rankings
« on: October 18, 2021, 02:34:56 PM »
We're #11 in the AP Pre-Season Poll behind MI-6 and PU-7.  Season can't get here quick enough.  We've maybe never had a deeper team.  I'm counting on Belo to make this work!

Pre-season all they want....we will be better than last years squad. If Belo becomes more secure with decisions and handling, but still keeps the creativeness with teammates, we are so far from one dimensional it could be scary.

Ayo was the one that we needed, when we needed him....nothing away from him, but teams at least could try to game plan for him....Belo is such an extreme guard, if his mental game and his outside shooting is improved, well....maybe we lose to Purdue, Michigan I think we handle, Ohio St. we handle, who else is there?

This is going to be a fascinating year in college ball with many teams deeper and more experienced than normal. We're a breakout player from an Elite Eight team and a bad bounce from the NIT so it should be fun.

Huh?! 🤨

You seriously think the team this year could be one bad bounce away from an NIT bid?? 🤨

Well said.  I also think that the teams who rely heavily on the "one and dones", will be disadvantaged by the historical experience they'll be facing.  There's more than a few BYU type teams this year.

A team ranked 5 (KenPom) 7 (CBS) and 11 (AP) and picked anywhere from 1-3 in the B1G is a bad bounce from the NIT? I fully expect this team to be far more dangerous in the postseason than last year’s.

How long have you been an Illinois fan?  Some of us are a bit scarred.

One of my earliest memories was the snowy rose bowl parade my small town threw for the 1983 Big 10 champion Illini.

This roster is good.

Cool!  I enjoyed my first trip to a bowl then.  Everything was spectacular but the game.

My point is simply that there's more variance than normal in how good other teams are going to be compared to us.  Basketball is a different animal than football. We're stocked but lost our best player, which means we're somewhere between national title contender and the bubble.
