I am assuming most Illini fans don’t have much hope for Illinois in this tournament. They are a No. 12 seed that finished the season 13-18 overall.
Illinois had the worst winning percentage in program history this season since the 1974-75 campaign. Many fans have a variety of feelings on this from embarrassment to hope for the future.
My currently feeling from the season is exhaustion. As a fan I have been through so much heartbreak and at times hope where I feel like I have ran a 10k in my mind.
But heading into this Big Ten Tournament I find myself with a sense of hope.
