Despite a tough home loss to Nebraska, Illinois’ basketball team is still holding its ground in the national analytics. Even with the defeat, the Illini’s offense actually jumped to No. 3 in KenPom, and their overall ranking only slipped a few spots. Bart Torvik and NET rankings show similar resilience, with Illinois barely dropping. This means the Illini are still on track for a solid NCAA Tournament seed, even though the season’s been a bit rocky. With Big Ten play heating up, every game matters—so what do you think it’ll take for Illinois to turn those close games into real momentum? #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #BigTen
