So what if I was here 24 hours ago telling you to raise expectations. I’m here to remind you Iowa ain’t played nobody PAWLLL and are not actually the third best team in the conference like the voters said.
Since we last met: Illinois is in Maui and put on a good showing against Gonzaga last night in a six-point loss. They also lost to Patrick Ewing and Mac McClung at home so it’s hard to use the huge Evansville win as much of a boost over their prior ranking of LAST.
