The Illini better make the tournament.

I would rather see Harvard.. New blood great RPI and nice story IVY getting 2 teams

**sjm5122** · 03-13-11, 03:15 PM

As an Illinois fan, they really don't deserve to be in it.

**jagaf22** · 03-13-11, 03:18 PM

They'll get in but this season has been a huge disappointment. Giving away leads, no low post presence, inability to rebound, and most of all separation between certain players.

**Brock Landers** · 03-13-11, 03:20 PM

they suck, would be lucky to win any game

**romecloneout** · 03-13-11, 03:25 PM

f them for costing me that michigan game

**The Bet Master** · 03-13-11, 03:27 PM

I think they will get in. Would be two snubs in a row for them if they don't.

I seen them protected as a 11th seed playing UNLV in the East.

That would be great going up againt our old coach. Lon K and UNLV would get beat.

They'll get in. The committee has a hardon for the Big-10 and Illinois has some nice non-conference wins this season.

Looks like Boston College, Harvard, USC and UAB are the "snubs"

They can't. They need to recruit some guys with steel like Sergio McClain and the Johnson Bros.. Guys who treat the opposition like I treat my remote control when I watch them play.

**starfire** · 03-13-11, 04:35 PM

Illini will get in

**james4512** · 03-13-11, 04:38 PM

illinois sucks theyll be better next year

**face** · 03-13-11, 04:41 PM

lost a lot of money on them last game, they pissed me off, SLACKERS, up 9 points and decide to loaf around looking at each other, AT LEAST PLAY LIKE YOU'RE ON TV, damn.

**StraitShooter** · 03-13-11, 04:41 PM

If you like watching them you are better off with an NIT bid and maybe make a run and catch a few games on ESPN.

Those pukes cost me 2 hundy standing around like monkeys the last 6 minutes of that game.
Hope they get 8-9 seed, win, and lose to OSU by 100

**D3 Mighty Ducks** · 03-13-11, 04:50 PM

I hope they don't make it they don't deserve it.

**flyingillini** · 03-13-11, 05:33 PM

The Illini will play UNLV and go against their old coach Lon Kruger. If they win they will go up against another old coach in Bill Self.... GO ILLINI!

**SEAHAWKHARRY** · 03-13-11, 05:36 PM

They did get the 8-9.
But'll it be KU that wins by 100 in the second round.
