I'm not saying I like it, but with this loss to Purdue, despite the fact that it was a valiant comeback, Illinois will likely be not making the NCAA tournament, barring a miracle run in the Big Ten Tournament. And barring something even more unexpected Mike Thomas will pull the plug on the Bruce Weber coaching tenure.

It's tough. It's basketball.

But there is still lots of basketball to be played this season, and no matter what, I am going to be watching every last minute of Illini basketball.
