Ranked? Before last night you were coming off two losses and your best win was Hawaii. Play Old Dominion at home wont carry much weight. This is probably one of the funnier things I’ve read on here. It’s minuscule but funny.
I agree. If Purdue and IU aren’t currently ranked (and they’re close) then there’s no way in hell an Illini team should be ranked at this point in time
This is really shows how different the scheme has been for Underwood this year. Completely reworked both sides of the ball.
going from #338 to #3 in any stat in one year is crazy, but the fact that it's a Brad Underwood team and we're talking about defensive FTR is insane to me

Cockburn has only played organized basketball for 3 years? Wow. Dude is a monster. Love watching him play... Feel bad for the ref that got clocked by him.
It's crazy how many talented bigs there are in the B1G. Cockburn, Wesson, Teske, Jalen Smith, Oturu, TJD, Tillman, Watkins, Haarms, Reuvers.

I'm really surprised to see no Lamar Stevens on this list.

That and Henry at 32 makes that list not worth discussing
I understand Kofi doesn't have much of an outside game, but damn he is a glaring omission. I'm not sure how you watch that Maryland Illinois game and say Jalen is a top 40 guy because he can make the occasion 3 and Kofi isn't even top 100.
A one point loss to the #3 team on the road. And then easily beating the #5 team.
It’s not that funny, Illinois will receive votes for sure
You said they would be ranked. Its a stupid fvcking comment. Congrats on the win but don't be dumb.
That play where he fell down and Giorgi got the ORB was a killer.
That's pretty wild. Did he make any adjustments to the staff to help implement the change? Or was it all him?
leave it to a cry baby to leave out the BT's leading scorer out of the list of talented Centers, in Garza.
oh thats right he isn't good enough to be in the top 100 let alone top 50.
This wasn't a foul last night. I love B1G refs.
Its not stupid, they’re going to get votes and could be ranked. Not that it matters because it’s December.
But I have a feeling there won’t be many road Ws in the big ten this year at all so this win might not be worth much at the end of the year
Pretty sure this is the guy who said Illinois under Groce was on a better projection than Indiana.
Is that projecting at the NBA level? Because if so, being a very good polished college player has little to do with it.
Dude, he's just giving him a hug. Sexual harassment maybe but no way that's a foul.This wasn't a foul last night. I love B1G refs.
Pardon me...what trajectory has Indiana been on?? Did we experience two different timelines? Where is Tom crean?
He got fired after 2 B1G titles and 3 sweet 16's. Groce got fired with 1 NCAA tournament win and didn't finish higher than 7th in the conference.
Uh yeah we’ve sucked ass for a while. So has Indiana.
Should we talk about all of Purdue’s achievements? Like that one time 40 years ago they made a final four?
Sure we haven’t broken through with a final four but our program has been significantly better the last decade plus.
Impressed with the Illini yesterday. Took a couple punches from Michigan, traded buckets and won a home game they need to win to be in the top half of the big ten.
Good win
Good win
Crazy! That white dude is in his personal space. Get him off of Harper Jr!This wasn't a foul last night. I love B1G refs.
