The survey results are now final from my readers, which are some of the best Illini basketball fans in the country. I asked the question, will the Illini make the NCAA tourney next season (2008-2009)? There were 120 respondents to this poll. Results were as follows:
Bubble Team 42%
Yes, Definitely In 37%
NIT is the place 12%
No Postseason 7%
I think the results are a bit optimistic, but it's hard to tell at this point. We will have a younger line-up next season if we're good, and a veteran line-up if we struggle. Either way, chances are we are better than the past season, and at least have a chance to make postseason play. Bruce Weber wants to see guys work on improving themselves in the off-season, and this is going to be the key thing, particularly with Mike Tisdale and Mike Davis. The guards should be clearly better, with McCamey, Smith and Legion potential starters by the end of the season.
