Illinois - are they the team to beat?

I’ll spoil it for you IU. They have the hardest remaining. According to KenPom IU is projected to lose the next 10 as they aren’t favored in any of them. Yeesh.
2023*
It's now official that DP acknowledged it.
Unbalanced conference schedules ftw.
Yea I could see that happening. All but two left are Q1 games. The other two are Q2 against PSU and Washington. Lots of opportunities but for Indiana to make the NCAA tourney they need at least 8 more wins.
Acknowledged what exactly? That IU fans give excuses when Purdue wins the conference?
Saw you were still lurking here. Perhaps you can provide one of your hot takes? Haven’t seen you around since you lasted posted these SCORCHING HOT ones:
IU fans have mentioned to me that Lovie....err....Woody has a winning record against Brad. Time to turn that around.
Thank you. We are all hoping for a collapse to secure his firing.
that was a record setting 1st half ass kicking.

Watched a good chunk of that first half and couldn't make up my mind if Illinois was impressive or if IU just really sucked. They just don't try - of course a team like Illinois (who kept their starters in all the way to the end of a 30 point blowout) is going to boat race an IU team that would rather be counting their NIL stacks than playing basketball.
It was pretty early in the 1st half and the Illinois big, Milsivic or w.e, got an offensive board with 3 IU guys around him and the first thing they all do is just back up 2 steps to give him room to dunk... like wtf?
IU’s final score DID beat Illinois’s first half score by 5…If it weren’t for that Galloway 3 at the buzzer it would have been only 2!that was a record setting 1st half ass kicking.

Yeah Illinois came out with a fire lit under their you know what after losing to USC and IU….i guess wasn’t ready for it even after their embarrassing loss at Iowa? Illinois punched hard and IU wouldn’t get back up and played scared and timid. Didn’t box out like you referred in your example.
Don’t get me wrong, when KJ plays for Illinois they’re very good. Their offense is a bit discombobulated when he’s out. But if he plays, they’re very tough.
But in this one, IU just rolled over and gave up within the first 10 min of the game. And Illinois just poured it on (not mad about it 😂)
IU just doesn't look interested at all. Good talent, but they seem to be playing like it's a summertime AAU game that doesn't mean a lot. Nebraska beat IU by 17 back Dec. Buckner's appointment with the IU board ends this year so I'd expect Woody to maybe survive 1 more year - his buyout gets reduced in 2026, but he might not last that long.
