IlliniKrush Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Well, it was a hell of a run last year. Hopefully we can stay in the top 25 and challenge for the big ten title. Should be a fun year in the big ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Time for Dee Brown to prove his leadership and lead this team. With Augustine still there too, things could be good for the Illini this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 Marco Killingsworth will basically give you all nightmares. Indiana's front court will be absolutely sick. DJ, Marco, Cem, and Ben are just tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say right now Alford will find a way to blow it (apologies to those that know the guy) but as of right now they deserve the 12-19 range. ISU deserves 30-40 without a proven post player. They can change that, but they don't deserve it right now unless Blalock shows up this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 ESPN.com's poll is crap. No way Iowa, Kansas, or Inidiana should be close to the polls at this point. I liked TSN's better: 1. Michigan State 2. Duke 3. Texas 4. UCONN 5. Villanova 6. Arizona 7. Oklahoma 8. Louisville 9. Kentucky 10. Gonzaga 11. Boston College 12. Nevada 13. Syracuse 14. Stanford 15. Memphis 16. Wake Forest 17. UCLA 18. Iowa State 19. Texas Tech 20. Georgetown 21. Illinois 22. Alabama 23. Iowa 24. Maryland 25. Miami And on ISU, they are a good team, rank worthy IMO. However, they are not the "best backcourt combo in the MidWest". Atleast, not when those two guards 26% of their 3's last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new NBA age limit, you're going to see more of these type of superstar classes where the players think they can come in and win it all their freshman year.
