That missed MSU game is unfortunately going to loom large for us when it comes to BTT seeding. With Illinois’ loss to Nebraska last night we are now a half game behind them just because we have played 1 less game. We have the head-to-head advantage over them. So that’s the difference between being the 6th seed and playing a team (11 or 14th seed) that has already played a game a day prior and a 7 seed who is playing a fresh 10 seed.
Tough break for KG in a situation they had no control over.
I really think Illinois, as a team, peaked in January.
