I suspect we’ll lose
-
We're a lot better than UW.
-
I suspect we’ll lose
But it wouldn't surprise you if they won?
In honor of Tempo on his Day of Mourning.

I think we may be in running for a 3 seed.

Agreed, the 3 seeds in current bracketology suggests (Auburn, Creighton, ILLINI, Baylor) Creighton and now Baylor (4-4, last 8 games) with the way they finished are the suspect ones imo. I hope we get on the South with the way it looks now though.

Per wisconsin podcasts last night. Both wahl and blackwell are playing with lower leg injuries and were gametime desicisions vs purdue. Hepburn isnt 100% either.

Well then I am adjusting my prediction ILLINI 88-Wisky 83....LOL, not changing anything. Need to make Wisky crawl out of this C-Game. Hit early, and often ILLINI!!!
-
Decent start.
-
Hawkins playing defense and rebounding
-
Harmon shooting outside sucks
And can't stop drives either.
-
We need to slow Storr down.
-
Does Goode know how to box out of defend
-
Does Goode know how to box out of defend
No
-
Take Goode out please…
-
Got lucky bounce
-
OK! Enough of the Caitlin commercials.
-
Will the Illini win the Only Tournament that Matters according to ThePAMan (the B1G Tournament)?
-
Damned nice move to the hoop Gibbs-Lawhorn
-
At least we started the game with some life, unlike yesterday.
-
TSJ is the best player in college basketball.
-
Damn if that heave went in it would have been electric.
-
ILLINI played to the level of Wisky in the 1st half. Didn't capitalize with key players in foul trouble, but they always seem to be a 2nd half team (mostly by necessity so far), so pour it on early in the 2nd...right on pace for that 88-83 win!!
-
Honestly that first half seemed like we were just giving it half throttle
Hopefully we put the pedal down fully on them in the second half!
-
Just wonderful D to start the 2nd half. BU needs to do some screaming in the huddle.
-
This is who we are on defense. There is no magic fix at this point of the season.
-
18 frigging points in 5 minutes? No, 21 now. JFC.
-
Badgers getting the whistles
-
Bang bang bang!
-
Ty Rodgers da man.
-
Smart play there by TSJ drawing the foul on the 3
-
One helluva pass by Hawkins
-
Get Goode the fuck outta there!
-
Get Goode the fuck outta there!
Yes, please.
-
F you Wahl, been butchering all day.
-
Sweet lob play
-
What a game.
-
Terrence Shannon Jr everyone. Let's go!!!
-
Huge shot TSJ!
-
TSJ is an alpha!
-
Shannon's the best Illini player since Deron Williams.
-
I'm not used to these 50 point halves. Lol
-
TOTTM !!!!!
-
Real games that really matter can start now

Now time to dance with Johnny Ladders in the first round
-
Yeah TSJ is the best player in the country. Too good of a team to not take home some hardware. Now go get to at least the sweet 16 or beyond!

Top 15 drafted??? TSJ has improved his stock to say the least....outside things aside of course.
-
20 bucks says a 3 seed opposite Kansas as a 6
-
Fuck yeah hang a banner!

I believe he’s played himself into the lottery.

I’m sure we’re gonna get fucked in seeding. Much like you fuck Joe Biden. Eat a bag of dicks, bitch! 😂
-

He very well may have....only thing that stops him, is the open floor drives won't be against average players, and he won't get all the calls either. That said, NBA doesn't play defense, so maybe?
Either way good for TSJ, I just hope the other crap gets sorted for the young man.

Would love to play Kansas in a bracket, talk about broken, that team is hot garbage right now.

I think if he does this in the NCAA tournament and we make a run, he for sure will. Lots of eyes will be watching him dominate.
-
This old man is worn out from these 3 days.
-
17-18 in the 2nd half on free shots and 62% shooting.
-
This old man is worn out from these days.
Wait until Thursday and Friday....
-

This old man says he's only referring to our games the last 3 days. Nobody elses.
-

The committee is drooling at the mouth waiting to match us up with Groce or some bullshit. You watch lol. I am getting old enough to have a heart attack from this shit though. Each year my blood pressure increases with each game.
-
Guess we dont need defense we outscore you. 3 games 3 double digit deficits in the 2nd half to win.
-
Now time to dance with Johnny Ladders in the first round
Or not. We get Morehead St. instead.
-
Or not. We get Morehead St. instead.
And possibly UConn, Auburn, and Iowa State....ouch
-
That’s a tough ass bracket! 😬
And Morehead State is no joke either.
-
Fuck yeah love our seeding honestly
-
That South region is BRUTAL and LOADED! WOW 😮
-
Fuck yeah love our seeding honestly
Yeah I’ll take it after seeing the south region.
-
Wisconsin, for going deep in TOTTM, gets Duke in the second round.
-
Speaking of Skyy Clark…
https://x.com/skyyclark/status/1769484238754066488?s=46&t=nLWTarDKWNHMqYhTVD-LQQ
-
Morehead St has a dynamic 6'7 guard in Riley Minix who averages 20 pts and 9 rebounds a game.
-
We got the easiest 6/11 line out of any bracket, assuming we don't lose in the first round of course lol

Agreed. I’ll take Iowa State as the 2 in our bracket.
-
Indiana State should’ve been in instead of Virginia in my opinion.
-
Why does that F-ing N Carolina get to play in Charlotte? Bullshit. They get this crap all the time. Make 'em travel.
Indiana State got screwed.

-
Sycamores got screwed this year....should have just handled business though.
-
1. Awesome game today. Hang a banner (unironic).
2. I like our bracket position overall. If we both get there Iowa State is a sold S16 game
3. I don't know how you leave Indy State out. A mid major with computer metrics that high should be a lock. It's weird to tell schools like that they didn't take care of business and then usher in some team like Virginia or even MSU.

I heard Lunardi discuss your third point on Kornheiser's podcast. He said the thing he leaned over time, after making many mistakes over the years, is that the committee will always take a P5 team over a mid-major in those circumstances.
-
Michigan State is WAY overrated!
-
anyone else laugh when they saw the score of the 2005 B1G championship win against the badgers?
54–43
blech
-
East region is rough…

Their non con schedule was an absolute joke. Can’t schedule like that in that conference and expect to get an at large.
Indiana St.
-
Seth Greenberg has us in the Elite Eight.

Committee loves them some Kansas, gave them the ultimate March Chokers in the S16
* well, 20 bucks says Purdue doesn't get that far

Indiana St.
And can't lose to Illinois St at home when they were already down multiple starters

Good points!
-
Wisconsin scored 172 points against us this year...lost both games. LOL, damn that sucks for them.
-

That too.
They did go 17-3 in that league. I've heard many say that in most other years, they were in. The ISU loss hurt, but what hurts the most is that non con and being in a league with Valpo, UIC and Evansville.

Did Tony Bennett step down as coach at Virginia earlier this week and Brucie take over? 31 minutes and 29 points. ??
You called it, Indiana State was definitely more deserving. Great call by the committee.
