how does illinois climb back from the calamity that has befallen them this year?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Collison and Shipp got their heads out of their asses!!! 14-2 run by UCLA, only down 50-46. I just want the score to be respectable.

No you don't, you want to win. :P

 

I do, but I don't expect the win even now. I've seen this play out a few times this season already. Cut down a big deficit on the road but end up losing (think @ Oregon, @ WVU).

 

Told you.

 

Gotta win the tourney now to get a 1-seed.

Relax you have a good coach who isn't destroying your program. All is well in Bruin land.

 

Eh, I'm fine. Saw this game coming but am disappointed all the same and I'm afraid of the ramifcations in terms of seeding.

 

Oh, and I can't stand it when the fans storm the court and the players act like they just won the championship when they beat us...but I guess that's respect for the program.

Well you bring in a subpar recruiting class for the 4th year in a row that's how. Oh and don't worry 5 is looking like crap as well.

You guys are gonna be a 1. You and OSU are set. IF KU wins out they will get one. The other could be a few teams.

the only thing i can think of is to fire weber and hire gillespie.

 

if we lose richmond then we lose richmond.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

So OSU has to be the favorites for the top 1-seed, right? I guess I gotta root for the Wolverines, though if OSU is the top seed, UCLA could still be in Sacramento/San Jose.

[Magnetic Curses]

KU is my early favorite for the NC.

Not gonna happen. Gillespe isn't coming back after the way Guenther treated Self, what with locking him out of his office and what not. I am afraid we are stuck with this dork.

[illiniguy]

KU is my early favorite for the NC.

I like Texas. But, KU is very good. It kills me too cause there two best (arguably) players and coach could have been ours.

i wouldn't rule it out. gillespie has to understand the situation.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

KU is my early favorite for the NC.

 

If it weren't for the last two years, I'd have to agree. I wonder how much of it is mental now though. They'll be seeded high enough that there's no way they lose in the first round, so maybe winning that game will kick them into gear.

That may be but the damage is done. We are in trouble until at least 2010 with recruiting. This whole we don't need you crap has really worked wonders for us. The guy came off a national championship game and ended up with Chester Frazier, Jamar Smith, and Charles Jackson. Or in other words a nice class for a small conference school.

At some point the 1 has to lose. God I hope it is this year.

We were never going to get Rush. He wanted to be at UI, but was told you ain't gonna get in. At least that is what I have been told from several in the know in KC.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Don't sleep on TAMU, guys. I really like them and think they can make a run to the Final Four.

[illiniguy]

Don't sleep on TAMU, guys. I really like them and think they can make a run to the Final-4.

Oh I agree. Law is unreal. Ohio State is pretty good too and everyone is sleeping on them.

[Andy]

Cuse lost so ND won't have to play till Thursday in the Big East tourney :D

 

Now they need to pass Louisville to get 3rd place so I don't have to miss their 2nd round game

I can see OSU leaving early (Sweet 16/Elite 8-ish). Of course I can think of a way any team could be out early, there's no clear cut leader of the pack this year.

They are what 15-1 in the big ten. I love how since you are from the big ten you are the team that will go out early. I think they have grown a lot and will be a very, very tough out.

[tadowdaddy]

Cats up on OU by 19 at the half. Sure will be nice to get a bye in the first round of the Big 12. Huggy has done it this year with all of Woolys boys, so even if we don't make the tourney (We're soooo on the bubble), the year will have been a success IMO.

[soccer10k]

Stanford getting pounded at home against Arizona. This kind of a game is not what their tourney hopes needed.

I don't see where Raisin said because OSU is from the Big Ten they will go out early. He also says he could see ANY team going out early this year.

I was talking more about how everyone has been saying that. Also how weak the Big Ten is even though we could have two 1 seeds.
