I have a feeling they have played themselves down to an 11 and First Four.
-
7/10. Kentucky vs. Illinois.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if we slip down to 11. We were 2-11 Q1.
Just make the tournament.
-
7/10 Creighton/Illini. A couple of enigmas.
-
Everybody's afraid of us.
We're capable of losing to everybody.
-

I would be far more worried about this if the team didn't still have those early wins in its back pocket. Also, the recent runs by Ohio St. and Penn St. might make those losses look better. However, sometimes the selection committee plays stupid games as to how much the conference tournaments matter.
I'll just go with the 9 at Bracket Matrix. The team would then play either Fla. Atlantic and lose horribly or Arkansas. (I suspect Memphis might rise from an 8 if the committee pays attention to today's Nichi-ing of Houston.) If this team loses to dogshit Arkansas, then I join the "Fire Underwear" brigade.
-
Just go to running clock and get to the brackets.
-
Been yet another great game. Big ten has had a lot of these this year more so than I can ever remember.
Will be interesting to see how that translates to the tournament.
-
Picket should had been the one catching the end bounds pass not throwing it.
-
Auburn is the only team in the 7/8 range that IL has a chance to beat bc their offense is terrible.
-
Can't believe no camera at Ubben.
-
Avoided getting Missouri thank god.
-
How’d Maryland get that high of a seed?! 😳
-
5/12 bad for Miami!
-
And Iowa an 8 seed?! 🤯
-
Indiana a 4 seed?! This is fucking insane.
-
PSU a 10 seed.
-
Man we might be sweating with these B1G seeds 😂 unbelievable
-
Iowa vs Auburn? Pray for a fucking meteor.
-
Damn Penn St a 10. Illinois is sweating.
-
Iowa vs Auburn? Pray for a fucking meteor.
Yeah blow that shit up
-

Yeah I thought we were safe. Now not so sure... :-[
-
Looks like Memphis, Kentucky, or St Mary’s.
I’d say Memphis is the easiest out of that group
-
The Midwest looks like a bracket likely to have chaos. Non-dominant 1, Weak 3, Weak 4, etc.
-
Illini!!!
-
There we are.
#9 seed vs Arkansas
-
I expect a S16!
-
Arkansas is a loss. Musselman is way better than Underwood
-
I like the 8/9 at least.
-
I like the 8/9 at least.
More Illini or Ark fans in Des Moines?
-
I predict we get down by 20+ at halftime, our bipolar asses make a furious rally to tie the game late. We'll have a chance to take the lead at the free shot line but miss both. Arkansas takes the lead and Mayer jacks up an airball three with time winding down as a fitting end to our WTF season.
-
Damn that East bracket looks HARD/TOUGH!
-
No Rutgers. Three Q3 losses was their undoing.
-
Rutgers got shafted and should've been in over Pitt or ASU.
-
Rutgers got screwed
-
Rutgers got screwed
Yeah 20 spots higher in net than 3 of the teams above them.
-
Glad North Carolina is out. They can suck a dick. Overrated motherfuckers.
-

They fell off hard by the end of the year. Their final minute collapse against the worst team in the conference was a crushing blow to their chances.
-

Kenpom
Rutgers- 35
Arizona State- 68
Pitt- 77
That sucks
-
Almost criminal
-
The committee once again seems to have used shifting criteria.
-
Glad North Carolina is out. They can suck a dick. Overrated motherfuckers.
How funny that Pete Nance transfers and it's UNC that suffers and Northwestern was better off without him. :D
-
North Carolina has to be the first preseason #1 team to miss the tourney in the 64 team era
-
How was this even a thread. There was NACIH the NCAA didn't put us in the 8/9 across from Kansas.
-

First team ever to be a preseason #1 and miss the tournament
Oh well suck a bag of dicks unc!
-

Unless we dropped to a 10.
-

We are definitely losing to Arkansas
Illini in our history have yet to beat a team higher seeded than us and this will be more of the same
-

Full agree. Even if they had made the tournament, I didn't see them winning on a neutral court.
-

Based on what?
-

Best we could hope for is 2011.
Win the 8/9 matchup then lose to Kansas.
-
Eric Musselman made one Sweet 16 at Nevada.
At Arkansas he has back-back Elite 8s.
This year he has 2 lottery picks on the starting lineup.
I think this is a mismatch. Arkansas has lost lot of games this year but they have elite talent and an elite tourney coach.
Give me
Arkansas 68
Illinois 55
-
3:30 start time. Gonna have to go the streaming-at-work route.

In 2004, Illinois was a 5 seed and clobbered the 4 seed, Cincinnati. Weber!

You are citing something that happened in 2004. I am surprised you didn't cite something that happened in 1920. Great job IVMP!

Illini women got screwed. Play in game? I thought they had a better year than that.

There we are.
#9 seed vs Arkansas
At least BU can say we made it....not much hope on this one. We could win by 7-9 or lose by 17? The latter will probably happen.
-
Who cares
I guess it is safe to say you won't be participating in Custard's HQ2 ladies bracket contest.
-
We lose 89-75 based on : https://www.whatifsports.com/ncaab/default.asp#top
81-72 2nd time through
100-98 - 3rd
87-84, we finally win one...4th try
92-58, on 5th try, must of been getting tired... 4-1 Musselman against us.

Did they have to play against a team of transgenders?

Something worth looking at.

Was never a chance. The #1 rule of the NCAA seeding process is we meet Kansas in a theoretical matchup we never make it to.
-

I was almost right. The women got the play in. They did get screwed - were ranked a couple weeks ago.
-

Well played.
-
Well played.
Yeah. I needed to pair that with the other prediction here that Kansas would be at the top of the bracket. However, I was able to impress spectators by saying Illinois would show up with Arkansas when that part of the bracket was revealed.
-
I was almost right. The women got the play in. They did get screwed - were ranked a couple weeks ago.
They got hosed. But they do play at South Bend.
-
The women's team was ranked, had one bad loss and then lost to no. 5 and then went from fringe top 25 to out of the top 40. They beat a 2 seed and played a 1 seed close twice. Yikes.
-
That one wasn’t me.
Lol, yeah right. Mr. Multy McMultington saying he didn't create a mult.
I'm inclined to call bullshit.

Used the same language as Tempo in another post. However, one thing the mult wrote which makes me suspicious that s/he/they is just trying to put the blame on Tempo.

If it was me I’d have come up with something more creative that fuckIVMP. I’d have come up with “ProjectedWinPercentage” or something along those lines, and created a sig. I’m barely paying attention to his and Ray’s argument. I’m not looking to join it.

I'll concede there are minor truths in this.

Yes, you actually have a vocabulary that goes beyond "LOL" and "dimwit."
The use of the word "apt" is what did it for me.

Riiiight. Which is why you keep tacking on comments, and then created a sockpuppet.

Can confirm.

If it was me I’d have come up with something more creative. And I have next to no interest in yours and Ray’s back and forth. I think my lack of participation in the discussion is proof. But if it makes you feel better, I can add a fuck you to the end of this post.

Don’t think I’ve ever claimed that. I’ll toss in a dimwit, dipshit, or jagoff. But I try to leave it at generic insults and try not to get personal.
-
Auburn is the only team in the 7/8 range that IL has a chance to beat bc their offense is terrible.
I'm putting money on Illinois now, which reminds me that there may be hope for you in the entertainment world.

How is an insult not personal?

How is an insult not personal?
Me mocking you or making large sweeping assumptions for why your wife cheated on you would be “personal.”
Using a generic insult for emphasis is impersonal.

Yes. Making false/errant general assumptions (particularly stated as fact) about his personal life would be personal. He’s earned the title of “penis,” here. I suppose we all have at some point or another. When did you become such a snowflake?
-
I don’t claim to know what his friends or family think of him, or how he behaves in his non-message board persona. Pro-tip: HQ isn’t real life.
-
If you want to call me a dimwit, dipshit, or even a penis; I won’t get all bent out of shape about it. Especially if it’s a well constructed post…

You know it’s funny. You just won’t admit it. You had your sense of humor removed during football season.
