My prediction…Hawkins 1-7 from 3……Illini win 76-72
We shall see next game I’m sureImagine how good this team could be if Melendez and Mayer get hot on the same day.
RJ is 3 out of his last 23 shots since PSU. Before we get him "hot" how about we raise his baseline a bit. That alone would have a huge impact on the team.Imagine how good this team could be if Melendez and Mayer get hot on the same day.
If we finish 19-12(10-10), and win at least 1 game in the B1G tourney, I would give us a 98% chance of making the NCAA tourney with our resume.

There could be 5 teams that finish 10-10 and only 4 or 5 with a better record. We would have the best non-con wins (and no bad losses - unless MZ collapses which is looking unlikely). With the exception of Purdue on the plus side and Minnesota on the losing side, every game in the B1G isn't far from a toss-up. Unless the B!G gets a historic low number of teams in, I think a 10-10 record with our remaining resume would be enough, especially with the parity we are seeing this year.
I believe I heard on a postgame show that Co-Hawk had made 5 threes in the last month before hitting 6 yesterday.RJ is 3 out of his last 23 shots since PSU. Before we get him "hot" how about we raise his baseline a bit. That alone would have a huge impact on the team.
Ain’t no way
It’s certainly possible, but I have to see a couple more games before I truly believe we’ve turned the corner.I'm pretty confident we will go better than 10-10 in conference.
