[Catholics vs. Convicts]

In my opinion, the Illini are the real Big Ten regular season champs (or at least co-champs with Michigan).

I don't enjoy fighting this kind of battle, because it makes us look small. But it's insane they don't crown Illinois as co-champs. The belittling from Michigan fans are pathetic: "Cry more." "Are there even Illinois fans?" "What a terrible sports school." Illinois kicked there you-know-what without our best player, and we finished a half-game up in the standings! Co-champs doesn't hurt anyone. There is no reason not to do this, other than poor conference leadership, and giving everything to the legacy school.

The best way to put all of speculation to doubt is for Illinois to win the conference tournament. No one will be able to deny Illinois was the best team in the conference this year if we do so. Hopefully they have the motivation to take care of business.

[Catholics vs. Convicts]

One of the best teams in Illini history!!! B1G Champions!!! Best B1G team this season! #1 seed and more greatness to come!

[Catholics vs. Convicts]

I am so dumbfounded about the Illini game. They've seen it all, and come back from any deficit over the past two years. They were the most tested, most clutch, hottest team in the country. But they looked completely and utterly lost, like it was each of their first game playing / coaching in college basketball. Really embarrassing look for a team and fanbase that is desperate to see success on the big stage.
