This year my bold prediction is that the Illini will win one game. The Illini are in the unevious and unbecoming position of playing in the first round of the B1G Tournament.
At 3:30 PM today, the Illini kick off the tournament against Minnesota. I would give this game to Illinois even if the Gophers were a complete team. But, the Gophers are far from complete.
Minnesota dismissed one player about three weeks ago, and recently suspended three players for the rest of the season.
Unfortunately for the Illini, after they beat the Gophers, they will have to face Iowa, the five seed.
