Man we should have had that game against Ohio State today. Twice we couldn't get a good last shot off that could have potentially won the game. We played our hearts out - some questionable calls didn't help - an intentional foul, seriously?
The killer is that it looked like we were in then regardless and then teams like Houston win Conference USA (isn't that where College of DuPage plays now? Good thing that conference will get 2 bids) and Minnesota gets to destroy a Purdue team that isn't remotely scary any more without Hummel. Now the big question is how teams like Virginia Tech and Mississippi State leapfrogged the Illini with even more questionable resumes and less big wins.
So frustrating - the Illini have shown flashes the past couple days of being really dangerous, too bad we may have to settle for taking out our frustrations on the NIT field.
Teams had better watch their backs next year - with this team all coming back and the recruiting class we have - I'm looking at a top 3 seed next year.
