This team is like the stock market. When things are darkest, you know dawn's around the corner. For whatever reason, they've managed to defy my expectations every step of the way. So I want to be on record. I'm predicting that they lose to the Illini and in the first round of the tourney. Which I hope will absolutely ensure that they make a mini BTT run, and then turn it on in the tourney, like last year's NIT run.
