For a 1 seed with Ayo? Yes.
Say whatever you want Spark. But it is true. In 2005 I was at the Final Four. I bought a 6-pack of Dirt Cheep branded beer. I joked that I was not going to drink it until Illinois won the NC. Over 16 years later, 5 of the cans got holes, busted when frozen, etc. and there is only a single can left in the beer fridge. Waiting to be consumed. Yet, I may never drink that can of Dirt Cheep beer because Illini fans, and the loser AD, are happy with fucking B1G Championships and just making a 64-team tournament (like fuckling Wisconsin does every year!) If my thirst for a NC and a 17 year old can of Dirt Cheep beer is idiotic to you, so be it. But, when you mock the Bigotry of Low Expectiations line, just remember that you want Illinois to be Wisconsin. I aspire for Illinois to be Duke.
I want Illinois to win a national title too. Badly.
They never will if we turn on our coaches as soon as they turn our program around because they haven't won one yet. It's crazy.
And look - I asked if the results were really below your expectations and you defaulted back to the "but the Loyola game" argument. I wasn't asking about that. I was asking if the results of Underwood's tenure here so far were worse than you expected. That includes the rebuilding years and the Loyola game, as well as the year where the tournament got canceled, and this year.
Probably safe to guess, since you completely ducked the question, that the answer is "no".
