The Illini started out the year ranked No. 23. They haven't had to face a good team yet, so they aren't moving up in the rankings. But when it comes time for Big Ten play, how will they fare? Today the Illini rolled over Presbyterian, 94-48. Their easiest win of the year. If they didn't beat them, I would probably cry for about a month. Dick Vitale predicted them to be one of the best teams in the nation by the end of the year. Yes, Dick Vitale. The annoying, yet hilarious announcer. I think they have that amount of potential to be one of the top teams in the nation. Their first 13 games, I would rank their schedule about four out of 10. That is how easy their non-conference schedule is. They should probably win all of those games. If the Illini can keep this hot streak up for the rest of the year, then they have a chance at a dream of an ending.
