Illinois is 2-10 in Q1 and has 3 road wins, how are they not on the bubble?

Everyone has them very safely in but if they lose to PSU tonight, Im not sure they make it. Their resume is ass.

Wins over UCLA and Texas do a lot

I think Illinois should be further down then the 8/9 line but I do think they are solidly in the tournament and have done enough.

I dont give a sh!t what their NET is and the committee isnt supposed to either.

They should be going to Dayton with that resume

Come on man, they are a big 10 team. They have a right to be in there with the 6 to 8 other middling big ten teams who will undoubtedly perish by the time the first weekend has elapsed.

NC State had 4 road wins and 1 Q1 win (1-6) and are projected higher than Pitt and lost to Pitt at home

 

[JD1976]

Non-conference wins over projected top 2 seeds and good metrics are on Illinois’ side.

 

[MarshallGoldberg]

Sagarin and Pomeroy have them like 25 and 34. I think they're in; no bad losses, good SoS, and the UCLA and Texas wins are one of the better non conference resumes. You know damn well if we beat UCLA, we'd be leading with that.

Exactly - the Big 10 does not have 9 deserving teams
