It’d be nice if Illinois could actually play to or above their seed for once in their history!

We are riding high this week after getting a 3 seed and winning the BTT. I’d be curious as to the pulse if we lose the first weekend.

I think if we had lost Saturday the answers might have been slightly different. I also heard this reporter say this probably Thursdayish.

It’s been done a few times. But that’s it.

I still fully expect us to lose the first weekend. Because Brad has done nothing else.

We shouldn't lose this weekend. But I expect it.

Dude deserves a lot of credit for putting together this roster that most thought was a fringe top 25 team and was picked 4-5th in conference, installing a new offense that rivals some of our best teams ever, turning a guy no one had heard of into a first team all B1G player, and having this kind of season.

Especially with having a giant national news federal court derailment right when we were playing our best, losing one of the best players in the country for what really amounted to about 10+ games due to the rust when he came back.

Then being able to mesh it all back together to challenge the runaway favorite Purdue, finish second by a few games, win the BTT, and secure a 3 seed with a clear path to the second weekend.

Hell of a job. Now let’s make a run.

Yep. He's done a great job this season. Now he needs to take it and make a tournament run.

The BTT showed a team that had both the conditioning and the focus to turn a game around and finish it. It's a good combination for a team to have, and something we haven't seen much of until the 3 BTT games.

Agreed. But the tournament that matters is funny. All that winning at the end, and the conditioning, and everything else can be wiped out in one 2 hour span if funny shit happens. Peter Cockington from MidU can catch fire and knock down 4 3's in a matter of seconds, and all of a sudden shit unravels.

Coaching matters in this thing.

Agreed. It's a 40 minute ball game and always has been.
The conditioning and the focus to finish a game is great to have. Good teams have it.
We have shown it.
Stay focused for 40 and have the conditioning to finish.

Great teams and coaches lose the first weekend every damn year. It’s what makes it the most unique and exciting sports phenomena there is. The whole key is getting there with decent seed most years and then catching a good draw and you’ll break through.

Pretty much. We've been on the wrong side of catching a good draw a lot of years, or having a crappy game.
Only the Flyin Illini were able to beat the crappy draw, then had an average game and lost by 2 to another monster team
