Mark Smith now officially leaving Illinois.

Illini board rumbling that at least two more, and as many as four more on the way out in the next few weeks, and that one of them is likely Leron Black.

Oof.

The Illinois state penitentiary team just landed their big. The NCAA said they couldn't find any infractions so they should be good for post season play next year.

I know rankings aren't everything but ESPN has Michigan State as a 3 seed and they are ranked 4th. They also have Kansas as a 1 seed. I don't understand that at all.

Michigan st is 3-4 in Quad 1 wins with a SOS of 82 (non con 202). 2 wins against teams projected into the tournament. Kansas is 10-3 in Quad 1 wins with a SOS 2 (non con 16). 10 wins or more against teams projected in field or on the bubble

It blows my mind you can have 3 quad 1 wins but only 2 wins against tourney teams. They need to fix the quads if a quad 1 team isn't even in the tourney.

More emphasis on road wins which is an improvement over the old way in my opinion There 2 best wins were against Purdue, and North Carolina at home. Their other quad 1 win was on the road at Maryland (1-75 rpi on the road is a quad 1 win). Maryland was 70.

I understand it all can't be equal it is harder to win on the road, but letting quad 1 go all the way up to 75 might be too much.

Old system Quad 1 was basically 1-50 rpi (road, neutral, or home). The change came from a meeting with coaches and others involved met with committee in off season that wanted to weight winning on the road and neutral differently. Definitely not perfect but its something the coaches wanted to do

Illinois is the worst-run athletic department in the Big Ten. They make Rick Greenspan look like a genius.

Illinois is going nowhere. Underwood was another bad hire. That guy irked me when he said Juwan Morgan, "should travel his *** back to Missouri. I yelled at him from about 15 feet away. Dude is a douchebag. Cries about everything.

Whoa when did he say that?  I must have missed that.
