Brad Underwood is MAD! And I love it. Kids these days need someone screaming in their face every now and then.

Illini down 19 now. 0-2 start to conference play not ideal even with their “easy schedule” 

[rcbowla 8,265]

Wonder what the vibes would be here if PSU was beating IU by 19 at SSAH

NOBODY would have predicted preseason them to be 0-2 with Maryland and Penn State as their first two games.

Illinois prob rather have a PSU win than that Texas win

[RaceToTheTop 31,185]

Obviously glad to see Illinois start the conference season off 0-2 but this is another reason I hate these mid December conference games.  You are supposed to use the non-conference games to prepare for the conference slate and throwing them into the middle of non-conference play.

Hopefully with the Big 10/ACC ending and hopefully following by the ending of the Gavitt Games, the conference will start at the end of December and teams will be able to put a couple more non-conference earlier.

I LOVE watching Illinois lose

Maybe, but the NCAA will likely have it as a wash assuming that Penn State ends in the top 75 in NET.  Right now they are at 77 prior to the game but will be top 75 now.

If Penn State is top 75, the Texas game is a quad 1 and Penn State is a quad 2.  beating Texas and losing to Penn State is a quad 1 win and quad 2 loss.  Reversing the results would be a quad 2 win and quad 1 loss.  I think the NCAA committee actually prefers a quad 1 win and quad 2 loss to a quad 1 loss and quad 2 win.  I think as long as the loss doesn't drop down to Q3 or Q4 it won't be considering a bad loss by the commitee.

Facts, but I'd rather win the conference.

Same, but the NCAA has said that they don't look at conference standings for seeding.

What's the difference between a 3 seed and a 4 seed?  Nobody will remember that.

Everyone remembers conference titles.

I was thinking more from a B1G title race perspective but I agree about your points

Nebraska hanging in but getting absolutely nothing from Griesel.

I know I won’t get any love for this . Purdue looks like the best team in the country to me. There freshmen guards don’t look like freshmen. I believe this is Painters best team ever.

Agree about the guards, not sure they look like the best, but much better than I hoped/expected. Having said that, last year they were number 1 before Purdooing their pants later in the year. Check back in March.

Griesel just killling Nebraska with his bad play.

Purdue has looked very good this year, but I'm not sure that today's effort really supports that thought.
