Limping past a depleted Northwestern team at home is hardly an impressive feat. Illinois next two are at Purdue and at Michigan. Might be back to reality.And on the other end of the spectrum, the Illini look to be for real.

I love the fact that it's not going to be a cake walk this year. Love what the Hawks have done, but we always need to be on top of our game, like last nightAnd on the other end of the spectrum, the Illini look to be for real.
2-1 home2-5 in the B1G and losers of 5 of their last 6. I wonder if any freshmen are rethinking their choices about now.
Not saying it’s right or wrong, but I literally do not even look at the B1G standings. If we had a shot to win it maybe I would but I think that’s out of the picture now.I hope so. If we go 2-0 next week against two teams fighting for our spot in the rankings, then Illinois losses both, we are going to look really good. It might be short lived, but we will be sitting nice one game short of the midway point.
Funny because I look at them about twice a day.Not saying it’s right or wrong, but I literally do not even look at the B1G standings. If we had a shot to win it maybe I would but I think that’s out of the picture now.
With uneven schedules I don’t think it really means much if you finish 3rd or 6th in this league. Sure the double bye is nice in the tournament so maybe I’ll look at that when we get closer, for now I just assume you are going to have a bunch of teams between 9-12 wins in league play.
To each their own as they say.Funny because I look at them about twice a day.
So much national parity this year. No Zion Williamson type players (and even he couldn't get Duke to the Final Four). No dominant teams.Just a month ago they were considered one of the best teams in the country. They lose Wesson(Andre?) for a stretch and it completely unravels. The margin for error is really that thin this year.

The only guy they lost was Kyle Young and that was only for a few games. He’s played in their recent ones.When do they get him back?

I’ve pointed it out in another thread, but at one point this season when they were up there in the rankings they were shooting over 40% from 3. If you look at their team they really don’t have a bunch of really good 3pt shooters. In other words that number was completely unsustainable for them.
Not unlike Iowa's loss at NebbyWith some really bad losses
As I was saying.....And on the other end of the spectrum, the Illini look to be for real.
