Illinois is for real, and would be a real contender in several conferences this year.  Unfortunately for them, the Big Ten isn't one of them.    They face a murder's row of ranked teams (8 of the 18 conference games will be against teams that went into conference play ranked in the top 20).  They do not, unfortunately for them, match up well against Michigan or Ohio, and they play both twice.  Still, they will make the tournament, probably with ease.

Contrast with Arizona, who is also for real, but apparently won't find any real challenge in the Pac-12, which is looking pretty bad again this year.

Man, what the fuck happened to Pac-10 basketball?

Wyoming is now 13-0, tonight they beat SMU.  This is the best start in school history, but Wyoming being Wyoming is also shooting itself in the foot - the number 2 scorer got into an "altercation" (word is he stepped in to stop a fight between some rube and one of the trainers)...and broke his 4th metatarsal.

He is out 4-6 weeks...sigh...

Valmy, we forgot to trash-talk before the UT-WVU game last night.  Both teams are so similar-- difficult pre-season schedule (despite what the idiot announcers in the game said), hovering around .500 entering conference play, great defenses, abysmal offenses, and one impressive win each vs. ranked teams.

I say both teams grind it through conference play to end up with 17 or 18 or so wins apiece and land a 9 or 10 seed.

I missed the game last night but am watching it with Lola right now :)

I was too depressed after the Baylor game, Texas plays one of its best games of the year and still loses :weep:

I will be very happy if this team somehow sneaks into the tournament.

On paper both teams appear headed to the NIT, but both usually find a way to get into the NCAA tourney one way or another.

Wyoming lost their best outside shooter to a broken hand (that turned out a week later the bar fight also was where he kicked some dude in the head as well and is now up on charges!).  The Pokes can't score any more, but they can play defense.

Horrible loss to Kansas...I guess I should feel encouraged but Texas had a similar melt down with a big lead against UCLA and that didn't mean anything.

9th loss of the season.  They will be at the point soon where they could win every remaining regular season game and still be a bubble team.

Apparently the Oregon Ducks are pretty good at basketball too.

Who would have thought?

Neither Stanford or Cal got the memo.
