    The Illini better make the tournament.

    I will be livid if they don't make it. It's already been a nightmare of a season. I want to see if they can at least win a game.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    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!
