The game of basketball is a funny game.   It has been a roller coaster ride for the Illini fans this year.   Illinois started out 11-0, and than they looked like the same old Illini from last year squad.   Some how, and some way Illniois inked out enough wins and look to be lock for the NCAA Tournament.   Illlinois still has to go to Ohio State and Iowa but even if they lose those two games they will still be dancing in March.
