It certainly doesn't help.

NU does have some chances in their schedule to make up for it, though.

Tough stretch coming up...

I hope that loss to NU doesn’t spoil Illinois’ NIT bid
Thanks for your concern but Illinois is comfortably in. NW, however, needs to tighten things up quickly.

Fyi, if you’re scared of the dark don’t look here otherwise you’ll see that NU is one of the last consensus at large teams getting in. And that’s before tonight’s home loss to a team that’s gonna finish below .500 on the season. Hope that NU can at least go 2-2 coming up, otherwise you’re in big trouble. 🫠

Probably right, but you somehow lost to this team when you have way more talent. I suppose you will chalk that up to red ***.
Life on the road in the big ten. It happens, even at a soft road environment like Evanston. Honestly, I should send you a gift basket. That seemed to be the kick in the *** the team needed. The Illini have won 7 of 8 since then. Meanwhile the Kitties are 4-4 since then, so maybe you celebrated a little too early

I'm actually happy that there's an Illini fan who cares enough about our rivalry to troll us. If he weren't here, would anybody even know there's a rivalry?

Dopey Orange Crush fans are so broke, they have to pose as underprivileged kids to buy tickets for Carver. Now it looks like they will back in boystown.

For a fanbase that was pretty sure they were going to make the tourney right up until 4 days ago, that’s pretty sad.

In all seriousness, I really do feel sorry for you. Northwestern is going to miss the tourney again, but they came close enough that Collins is getting extended and will somehow be back again. It’s honestly a tragedy.

The most entertaining part of the Illini team is their coach.
He’s extremely entertaining. It’s one of the reasons we like him so much.

He’s also won more big ten games the last 3+ seasons than any other coach in conference. That’s the other reason we like him so much. 😍

Haha they’ve done this for 20 years. Iowa is just the first school to be cunts about it.

You know why Krush doesn’t typically even bother to invade games in Evanston? Because it’s already a mostly orange crowd. You wouldn’t even realize they were there.

Blind Pig probably thrilled all those kids now staying in Champaign to watch the game. I bet Culver’s has a big lunch rush on Saturday too!

More BS, there was a good percentage of this fanbase that was very much a “wait and see” in making the tournament.

You don’t need to feel sorry for me, I never had to spend any time in Champaign. Now that would be a real tragedy.

Champaign isn't that bad. They have some decent eateries (DeStihl, Radio Maria (since closed)). But that turd Jimmy John still lives there. His wife / girlfiend came on to my bud at a party at his house like 10 years ago. He asked her "What's wrong? Is Jimmy as quick as his ads state?"

It’s at least the title of a somewhat obscure, underrated very funny TV show.

OP aging like a sweaty jockstrap left under some wet towels.

Illini gave up 53 in the first half at PSU.

Oof.

You know, I guess I've been spoiled by NU hoops this season, I thought defense was something that all good teams coached. You would think the ol' orange crush might want to give half an effort and contest some of these shots. But then, being comfortably in, they're probably just looking ahead to the dance already, I'm sure.

Oof

Illini swept in season series by PSU. But they held them to 40 in the second half.

Progress.

4 straight wins vs ranked teams.

Of course, the Illini won’t be ranked when we play.

Oof.
