Coming down the stretch, does Illinois make it? It seems the national media perception is pushing towards them being in - they have better wins than any other bubble team and it's not even close. The problem with conference tournaments is that they change the perception of an underachieving team throughout the entire year. Mississippi State, what have they done? Their best two SEC wins of the year came in the last 3 days, so how are they deserving? As well as Minnesota - they just lost by 30+ to Michigan a week and a half ago and all of the sudden we're anointing them the next great Big Ten team? People need to pay more attention to the regular season.
