PrintIn case it hasn't already sunk in that the Illini are in some serious danger of not going to the big dance for the second time in three years, there is already discussion of the NIT and the Illini. Specifically why we shouldn't be looking forward to hosting any of the opening round games
Illinois wouldn't be able to host a game in the first round of the NIT, Brown said. A Cirque du Soleil production is booked at the Assembly Hall from March 17-21. The NIT's first round is March 16-17. There are second-round games March 18, 19, 20 and 22, so Illinois could host a game late in the second round.
Yeah, Cirque Du Soleil. Basketball hell, here we come.

You gotta be fucking kidding me, right?
Wow. Nothing against Cirque du Soleil, which I’m sure is a fun program or whatever . . . but how can this HAPPEN?!
The Athletic Department HAS to know these dates beforehand, right? Yikes . . .

Maybe they just assumed we would make the NCAA's.
After all, when was the last time the Illini missed the NCAA’s?

Brian Randle had so much potential.
