I think that’s emotion talking. We’re ranked, lol ... not saying we couldn’t miss the Tourney, but we’ve got work (an epic slide) to do before that’s a concern.

An 11-9 B1G team is a lock for the tournament this year. Illinois will be fine. You guys are good.
Wtg Alan Griffin. You done f'd up. Frazier was guarding Cassius. Kofi was the help defender pursuing the block - that's acceptable. A legitimate rim protector, who if nothing else, can at least alter the shot. But, then Griffin goes after the block, too? GTFO. Left the glass completely exposed for the Tillman slam. On the bright side, this helps Duke's resume. Sparty, six more wins please.
Those defensive lapses are the worst. Carolina lost the other night because they had four guys collapsing on Tre Jones. Duke actually had a put back layup available on the left or right side of the rim. Box out! It's so simple! At least it should be...

Damn, just saw the last sequence. Shitty way to lose.
Prayers for Ayo. Hope he’s alright and playing in the NBA next season.

MSU is set to hire Mel Tucker.
Guess I'm gonna have to root for a fellow Bucky Mel ha.

@Deathclutch, did you snatch up one of these beauties?
If you go 13-7 in the B1G, you’ll be in. Quit being an idiot.
The one thing this coaching search has taught me is that “sources” don’t have a ****ing clue what they’re talking about 99% of the time, on all sides.
Welcome Mel Tucker!

The committee is not going to be as kind to the B1G as everyone thinks. .500 in the B1G is not a lock for anything
So are you arguing that we won’t make it if we are .500? Because what you actually said was that if the tournament was today Illinois wouldn’t be in. I don’t get it?
Yeah you don’t get put in the tournament after a 3 game skid.
That happens in March it’s over. Imagine we are 3 games over 500 and then lost our last 3 too Indiana, OSU and Iowa. You don’t make the tournament then. Same thing.
Nah, the Big Ten figuring out that Kofi's hands need work is what broke us. Like I've said all season long. He needs another season of skill development.
Yeah, this team is pretty much a lock for the tournament unless we lose out.
Its not pessimistic really. Do you think if we were 3 games over 500 and lost our final 3 games, we’d be in? I think not unless we won a game in the big ten tournament.
Anyway it’s pointless until we find out if Ayo will come back. If he doesn’t we’re toast.
There is one thing I am 100% certain about, and that is the NCAA Tournament Committee will be filling all 68 lines of the bracket. And that is really tough to do without 9 or 10 B1G teams.
I think 10-10 will get B1G teams in. 11-9 is a lock.
The loss sucked last night for sure. PSU had a lights out shooting night and Purdue struggled mightily early.
But on the bright side, Purdue moved up to 9th at KenPom.

Purdue, Wisconsin and Minnesota will be right near the cut line at 10-10.
All of the others that don't start with a "N" are locks at .500 in conference.
Michigan is a lock at 9-11.
Ohio State is a lock at 8-12.
I'm glad to see Rutgers will be in the NCAA.
the BT Champion will have 6 maybe 7 losses with multiple teams sharing it this year,
there will be no runaway champion it is that close,
last night MSU just showed what can and does happen this season.

Illinois0: [laying out worst case scenarios] I'm actually the least pessimistic guy on here.
I watched the ending. I had a hard time sleeping. Heart broken for the PG. and truthfully the entire stadium of fans. That was a shitty way to win. Or lose.
RollLaugh @ Purdue.
Back to reality. It was fun while it lasted.

Ur funny hawkit but don’t push it or I’ll fvck ur mother.
enjoy it as they still have to play in Carver and paybacks can be a bitch.
if Iowa gets on a roll like they did vs Nebraska I doubt that Fran will pull his starters @ the 7:48 mark. Iowa was up 80-48 at that point, the walk on's and scrubs played the last minutes of the game,
Wieskamp had 30 points and Garza had 20+ point when they went to the bench.
