Sullinger sets a moving screen, then Thomas extends his arm to box out, and Illinois ends up being called for the foul on the possession

Illinois has got away with plenty of fouls tonight. That certainly has not been the problem.

We keep adding to the most losses in a 5 year span under one coach in Illinois history. 67 and counting. Edited by illiniguy

I keep hearing people say that Illinois is in the tournament, but I can't make a case for them short of making it to the Big 10 tournament final.

We will be in the NIT.

only reason they would make it is the fact that College Basketball as a whole just isn't that good this year... there aren't 68 good teams...

We will be in the NIT.

And lose in either the 1st or 2nd round.

They're easily in the tournament if they beat Indiana and Iowa at home, and don't lose to a bad team in the Big Ten tournament.

You are assuming every good small school wins their tourny.

No, that would be borderline. Did anyone seriously think they'd win tonight?

That is what everyone thought last year and I thought they deserved it. They don't deserve anything this year.

Nope, but I also thought if we shot as well as we did we would be in the game. Didn't you?

Hard to stay in a game when you play no defense and turn the ball over 18 times.

Guess it's a good thing we shot well. Could have been a 40 point loss. Although maybe that's what it is gonna take for a change to be made.

The thing that pisses me off is that the media still hasn't thrown Bruce in teh fire. As long as Tate is still defending him no one will go negative. He's getting heat from some writers but no one has taken the position he needs to go.

Have you compared them next to the other bubble teams? End at 19-12, 9-9 and they'll be good, especially if they win one in the BTT.

 

Now if Iowa comes in and wins Saturday or IU wins to close out the season there...

Sounds like Pearl is going to get hit with unethical conduct by the NCAA today and will face more sanctions.

 

He should have tried to pull a Sampson when he had a chance and he might have been able to skate like Kelvin. Though as good as he would have been for the bottom line, I still don't know that Iowa would have been able to swallow and pull the trigger.

Yeah. Blogging the Bracket's S-Curve(updated through last night) has ten at-larges behind Illinois.
