Who is more upset? Illini or Gopher fans?

[sidefx182]

Both teams are sitting with the same record (5-8) if they can't beat Purdue.

I would have to say it's the Illini fans right? I mean, they were ranked, haven't had many injuries or guys missing time. I would have to think that Weber will be given his pink slip if they don't make the tourney and win a few games in it.

If Illini fans expected to make the Elite Eight, they are more delusional than mingg.

I agree, but I think all fans expect their teams to win the whole thing. I can't knock them for that. Did I think Illinois would make a deep run? Not at all, but they should be more upset than Gopher fans with the way the season has turned out.

Have they had injury issues like we have? I honestly don't know, but even if they did, I'd still say Illini fans. This is probably arguable for some people, but it's more or less a better program than Minnesota (higher expectations).

I never expected anything from this team. How are they like me? Illini fans should be more upset than us because they beat us because we took a two point shot, down three points with 3 seconds left.....no wait......

We sat by a couple of Illini fans attending the game last night. We bonded over our disappointments. They're asking the same questions we are.

Illinois has solid recruits. No injuries. And yet a huge collapse. No way they aren't more disappointed.

Losing 7 of their last 8 games has been a surprise. Especially when you consider the talent on the team. Their last two wins though were msu and osu. Definitely Illinois being more disappointed.

Minnesota goes from 0-4 to 5-8..... promising after a crap start.
Illinois goes from 4-0 to 5-8..... just plain old demoralising.

I've never been impressed with what Weber has been able to do with his talent. He'll be out after the season.

 

[Reserve]

He'll be out after the season.

I would think if Illinois makes the NCAA Weber will be granted a reprieve. Otherwise, he's done.

Illini.

No contest.

I picked the Goph's to get 6 BIG wins after Trevor went down. Some picked the Illini to be in the top 1/3 of the BIG.

You are correct. Hell, some (CBS I believe) had them being the regular season B1G champ. It is surprising how much they have fallen off though.

If you have a chance and can find Bruce Weber's postgame press notes (illinoisloyalty.com probably has them), Weber sounded like a defeated man. It was really, really bad.
