Well, the Illini have now lost 6 of 7...so, as with the big football win at Champaign, against a team which tail-spun to 0-6 after starting 6-0, we didn't beat the same team that beat Gonzaga, MSU and OSU.
But we held serve at home and moved to 14-0, so I'm not bitchin'. In fact, we'll finish the regular season with 20+ wins for the first time since the 1997-98 season.
Nicest of all, unlike the last three seasons, we AREN'T playing for a Big Dance invite; but a sweet seed. At this point, assuming "serving out the set at home", and a couple of wins (minimum) in the B10 tourney, I think a No.4 seed.
YES, serving out the set at home. Why should we not beat the team at home which our 60-59 Crisler victim embarassed at THEIR place last night?
They won't get all the calls this time.
