The Fighting Illini won again improving themseleves to 16-0. Now you cant say the Illini suck, they have the best record i college basketball theyve beaten Purdue in Purdue, Ohio State, Wake Forest, Cinncinatti, Arkansas in Arkansas, Gonzaga.

they are not just good they are great.

Illinois and UNC should be #1 and #2, respectively

[jags2k3]

[krzyzewskisucks]

[FightingIllini#11]

Wake Forest ( a good team)
@Arkansas (Pretty well at home)
@Mizzou (Mizzou usn't that bad of a team at home)
Gonzaga (a good team)
@Purdue (Purdue shot very well in the first half and Illinois still hung in their)
Cinncinati (Illinois beat them at a highschool gym so neither team hot home court advantage)
Ohio State (Pretty good team this year)

[krzyzewskisucks]

Ohio State is pretty good, they would make the tourney if it weren't for the postseason ban.

[Wisconsin Sports Fan]

Illinois is hands down the best team in the country. They have big men, they have shooters, they have slashers, they have passers. No team is as complete as this one. Ohio State is a good team, they played a great game against the Badgers tonight in Wisconsin. I can't wait to watch the Badgers vs. Illinois, hopefully Tucker will be back for Wisconsin.

[FightingIllini#11]

yeah i can't wait for Wiscon and Illinois, but i think Illinois will lose @ Wisconsin and i think Illinois will win at home.

[Wisconsin Sports Fan]

Yea, I agree. I think Illinois will win at home for sure and it will be a very close game in Madison. I don't believe the Badgers have a chance if Alando Tucker isn't back for the game. He is one of only 3 players who, in my opinion, can match the Illini's athleticism. Another one of the 3 is Michael Flowers, who is only a freshman. I expect it to be a good game.

Lets see how UNC stacks up

Big Men- Sean May, Jawad Williams, Marvin Williams
Illinois- Roger Powell, James Augustine, Nick Smith
I give UNC the advantage over this one, Jawad and Roger are alot alike but Sean would roll over James and Marvin could take Nick.

Shooters- Jawad Williams, Rashad McCants, Raymond Felton, Melvin Scott
Illinois- Deron Williams, Dee Brown, Luther Head, Roger Powell
Even

Slashers- Raymond Felton, Rashad McCants, Jawad Williams
Illinois- Deron Williams, Dee Brown (Head is more perimeter oriented)
advantage UNC by a hair

Passers- Raymond Felton, Rashad McCants-roughly 10 apg between them
Illinois- Dee Brown, Deron Williams-rougly 12 apg between them
Advantage Illinois

Power of conference? Advantage UNC

Freshman? Advantage UNC

3 point shooting? Jawad Williams, and Rashad McCants are shooting over 45% while Raymond Felton is shooting over 50%. Marvin Williams shooting 34%

Luther Head 46%, Dee Brown 45%, and Roger Powell 40% are shooting over 40% while Deron Williams is shooting 34%.

Advantage UNC by a hair due to Raymond Felton

Rebounding? UNC by a large margin

Guard play? Illinois advantage

Big men play? UNC

Coach? UNC

Fans? Illinois

History? UNC by a billion light years

But anything can happen on any given day

My best friend lives in Detroit I cheer for them and the Bobcats
My mom lives in Atlanta

i hope UNC meets Illinois in the NCAA tourney

My thoughts, exactly!!!

[luvmist]

It looks like another win is coming pretty soon. I changed it all late. Was watching the Bulls play tonight. Iroincally, both teams look extremely well. I'm a believer now cause they come in hard boy. Go ILLINI!!

I was going back and forth watching both games, too. However, the Bulls are looking a little flat tonight. I think the Baby Bulls might have a hard time on this road trip. On the other hand, the KRUSH looked good tonight. Dickie V. thinks they will run the table all the way thru the Big Ten Tourney and all the way to St. Louis. They would be 37-0 by that time. Imagine that?!

[krzyzewskisucks]

Illini is at #1, the TAR HEELS at #2

Like I've wanted the poll all along, Illini and UNC should be #1, and 2 respectively

We agree!
