That was before a bunch of teams added players. I don't see a big difference between the #20 ranked team vs #45 ranked team. It gives the fanbase something fun to chat about.
I see a huge difference in our team.It’s the one with a postseason string of wins along with the along with South Carolina..Remember we beat all of the one seeds. We bring back the Mo with more experience than most teams with some decent amount of shooting ..Tough losing that we shook off..5th year experience in abundance..Those are big differences..This is the last year of 5 year players too..Covid players are gone..

We played Stoneybrook instead of 1 seed Miami.

We played Villanova Washington St..We won every game put in front of us.The team that won four,the teams that won 3 also.Kinda like a pre preseason.Im not shortchanging the team nor am I unrealistic. I do think we need one more Surefire bucket with size and moxie to challenge for the title though..

Illinois also was one of the few teams that had all of our starters play all of those games. Majority of the teams we played were missing players due to injury or transfer portal. Not taking away from our ladies but we beat teams that were on our level.

I only evaluate at the current state of our roster. I see us being a middle of the pack team at this time. Tenin Magassa flipped from Illinois to Oklahoma State. We added a 2nd guard off the bench from the transfer portal. The pre-season ranking is coming off our 4 starters experience.
