Chris Dobbertean, a man who recently earned his Master's of Bracketological Administration from a very prestigious east coast university, lets just call it Yalevard, is the resident Bracketologist here at SB Nation, he has a daily column on the Mothership, which I recommend everyone read so they can properly adjust their rooting hatred towards any team thinking they can steal the spot preordained for the Illini. He can also be found on his home blog Blogging the Bracket. But most importantly, today he can be found here, answering a couple questions I had about the Illini and the tournament.
So, away we go.
1. The Illini are currently 18-10 and 10-5 in the Big Ten, should they lose out the regular season could this team still make the tournament?
2. Some Illini fans are worried about the team's RPI being so bad so late in the year, at 71, do you see that as a liability for selection?
3. To go along with their good wins, the Illini also have three pretty bad losses in Utah, Bradley, and Georgia. Since those games occurred so early in the season, how much would they weigh the Illini down in the selection process.
4. In terms of seeding what do you see as the best and worst case scenarios for this team?
5. I assume that five teams is just about the most the Big Ten can hope for right now, (barring a Big Ten tournament upset) do the matchups so far look like this could be a good year for the conference in the tournament?
6. Just tell us again UNC wont be going to the dance this year, it is best schadenfreude there could be.
