Free shots don't matter until January. But probably 50-60 percent. Something abyssmal.

Especially in 30 point wins.

No clue. My gut says mediocrity.

Probably will go as far as Shannon and Hawkins will take them

Which will probably be another 1st round tourney exit

Don’t really know enough about the new guys to have much of a feeling. But I’d say if healthy maybe 5-6th B1G, 7 seed in tourney. Win one then bounced.

Really hard to say. Need to see what they have in terms of PG play and three point shooting, and if they improved their godawful drop coverage execution that everyone abuses.
My guess is upper division in BT, 7-9 seed and hope we are playing well first weekend.
Could surprise in good way.

Non-con, I see potential losses vs Marquette, Tn, FAU, and Missourah but the Marquette game is in C-U.
We'll see what kind of system Underwood says he wants to run for this year. I hope it's not another 'we'll let anyone shoot 3s whenever and from wherever but we're not good at it' season.

In the last 2.5 years the Illini have won the Big Ten in basketball twice, had a 1 seed in the tourney, and played in a January bowl game.

Their over/under was 7.5 wins. So not exactly expected to be world beaters. If all you had to do to fix things immediately was tank one season way more teams would be doing it.

Again, dumbfuckery. An “easy schedule” means “Super Bowl win?” Is the post-season schedule “easy?” Do you even think before you type?

Yeah, man, I get it. They lost on purpose last year, and it is a huge indictment on the organization to even be in that situation to begin with.

And 14 losses in a row is still 14 losses in a row in a business where the entire purpose is to win.

“Where the entire purpose is to win (long term).”

I was close on the regular season final team record, underestimated the final seeding (didn't calculate in the tourney run), missed on the Big Ten by 1 spot, and lets hope I nailed at least if not better the March run!!! Go ILLINI!!
