No quality road wins, same amount of neutral court wins. They have 2 (really 3 bad losses South Carolina is no different than Bradley or NW in terms of quality), Illinois has 4 bad losses. Illinois had two really good road wins at Wisconsin and at Clemson. Had good home wins against Vandy and MSU and a neutral court win against Wisconsin. Florida lost to South Alabama which is dramatically worse than any losses Illinois had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan99 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) Wow we got f***ed in the ass. Utah St. is f***ing garbage. That is the one team that is inexcusable to be in over Illinois. Why even bother playing anyone good. Just beat a bunch of s*** teams and get in. Edited March 14, 2010 by whitesoxfan99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I would hope they decline the NIT bid, but they won't. Maybe next year, Illinois will actually try in all of its games. They probably deserved to be in, but that's life on the bubble. Somebody always gets the shaft, and that's why you need to just take care of business.

zenryan Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 You cant complain about being snubbed when you lose 6 of your final 8. You might have played tougher games but you still need to win some of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team played nobody all year long. There isn't a major conference bubble team that wouldn't have raped that schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Illinois had way too many chances to make this tournament but threw them away early in the season. No complaints from me, a die-hard Illini fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, of course nobody points out that we played nothing but legit top 15 teams except for Minny and Michigan in that stretch. Lost 3 times to OSU, once to Wisconsin and once at Purdue when they had Hummel. Illinois had more top 25 wins than Cal, Utah St. and UTEP combined.

I simply can't complain about them not being in, they had a lot of chances all year and did not take advantage. As bad as the bad losses are, blowing opportunities in the Ohio State game yesterday and the Gonzaga game at the UC are the ones that stand out in my mind as why they aren't in.

The bubble got tight on Saturday and that cost Illinois. Utah St. has no business being in the tourney based on what they played and who they scheduled this year. They didn't schedule a single BCS conference team. That is absurd and I can't believe that got rewarded. Hell I would be less pissed if Virginia Tech got in over Illinois.

You can use that excuse for MSU and Purdue all you want, but we've had just as much of an excuse for the whole season (and definitely for Big 10 season).

SoxFan1 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I'm upset Miss St didn't make it. I really love watching them. Illinois? Did they deserve it? Probably. But if you took care of business like you should have, it wouldn't have been a problem. And I like the Illini, but they frustrate the hell out of me.
