Fighting Illini Basketball 🏀!!! Beat Oregon by 32 points at Oregon. Illinois scored 109 points tonight. Oregon's worst loss at home since UCLA beat them at Oregon in 1968 and scored 119 points on them. You need to start talking about Fighting illini basketball 🏀 more. Illinois looks like a final four 🍀 team right now.
HOT TAKE: For next video, Illinois peaks at the right time just like last year wins out their last two conference games wins the big 10 tournament and makes a run to the final four. Repeat of last year minus drawing UConn.
I got Iowa State to make the final four. I think it’s their best team since 2000 when they made the elite 8. They got an elite shooter on the wing with Momcilovic who was Wisconsin Mr basketball, won 3 consecutive state titles And multiple their other guys won state titles. There’s usually a good offensive team with an elite sophomore former 4 star recruit these past few years that’s made final four and it’s a shooter. Last year that was Bama with Rylan Griffin, Purdue with Braden Smith, 2023 UConn with Jordan Hawkins, 2022 UNC with Caleb Love and RJ, 2021 UCLA with Juzang.
I’m sure you don’t really keep up with them too much, but do you think teams like LSU, South Carolina, and Missouri can make tournament? They seem like the bottom of the SEC, but that might still be enough in this SEC.
I had the pleasure of watching them live against my team, LSU. They look very good and can be a serious contender in the ACC, but final four is a bit of a stretch.
Bro 9.7 is a lot higher than I expected. My league sucks. Since it’s impossible may as well make it more hot and say Clemson wins the natty bc Ian Schieffelin is playing but he’s hurt so the tigers will get better. The third ACC team will be NC State and Clemson gets the 5 seed as Duke gets obliterated in ACC play. Clemson wins the ACC and VCU makes the tournament along with Clemson meeting Alabama in the finals and getting revenge.
That was the main reason it was so high is because I can’t see Duke not getting a top 4 seed, they have a win over Auburn in the non con and the acc they should be able to run pretty easily tbh
Duke is 3-2 in Quad 1 wins, while Auburn is 6-1. Auburn has also faced all the other top-five-rated opponents in KenPom, except for themselves and Tennessee, whom they play on the 25th. According to ESPN Analytics, Auburn has a 70.8% chance of winning that game, meaning they are likely to finish with a 3-1 record against the top five teams - an achievement that is virtually unheard of. Meanwhile, Duke hasn’t been able to beat teams like Kansas or Kentucky.
@@seanhagan1435 Both Kansas and KY are good teams...Duke BEAT Auburn, which you conveniently ignored..Duke should have won both losses, but are young and getting better...Duke may not lose again...very possible..you will see..don't say you were not warned
I will correct you now..Duke is the best team in the country and they beat Auburn and are getting better..and there is a Zero % we have an all SEC final four...ZERO!!!

Thanks for putting my hot take in the video😁🙏
No Problem!
I rlly like your editing bro it’s improving
Thanks man !
Good addition of adding clips/photos of teams and coaches, keep working and improving!
@@groovygopher12 appreciate it !
Duke, Iowa state, tenness, Dayton, there is always some small little team that gets in
Of course someone has my Cyclones losing first round. People love to doubt us
Tennessee will win the NATTY book It !

Thanks for taking my hot take in the video
Tennessee Auburn natty ut wins
I got Iowa State to make the final four. I think it’s their best team since 2000 when they made the elite 8.

I agree Memphis needs a decent path to make the final 4.Anything less than the Sweet 16 is a failed season.
Fill out joe lunardis new bracket! I want to see what you think
How bout them Mountaineers Danny!
@Fightingillini23 looking good so far proud of them guys ⛰️✊
@ Getting a win like that at Allen Field house down 2 starters is nuts
I could see Purdue still going to Sweet 16. The defending runner-up has nearly always made the sweet 16 the following season
I’m sure you don’t really keep up with them too much, but do you think teams like LSU, South Carolina, and Missouri can make tournament? They seem like the bottom of the SEC, but that might still be enough in this SEC.
Somebody from SEC
what happened to the WVST series 😢
@@hdubvibes I liked making that series and something I want to try again soon but they just didn’t get hardly any views unfortunately 🥲
@ ahh gotcha. Do what you gotta do man
Auburn will win every game by 10+ until the final 4 and win it all (pls put that in)
UCF will make the sweet 16 and maybe even the elite 8
Indiana and Indiana state both win make the tournament
northwestern beat illinois
SMU goes to final four
I had the pleasure of watching them live against my team, LSU. They look very good and can be a serious contender in the ACC, but final four is a bit of a stretch.
Of the NIT
Lmao...SMU is about to get destroyed saturday
My hot take Notre Dame will not be in the final four teams in basketball

@ I mean I feel like either Duke or Clemson could go undefeated in ACC play though. I’m kidding abt this stuff just keep my earliest hot take
@ I do think that if Clemson get Ian fully healthy they can make it to final four though.
@@Dannyologycould you see Clemson winning the ACC at all?
Maryland is best in big ten
Do matter how bad does threw the season Kansas will make it in torment
None o f them will make it sweet sixteen
W.V.U.
houston wins it all
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Enoch Cheeks.
@@TSL5 you know ball.
Just wanted to say
2025 will be your biggest year yet
All your goals and dreams will come true becoming reality
Gonna say it again, since you keep repeating it..Auburn is NOT the best team in the country...DUKE is and they will finish as the number 1 seed!!!
Every analytic website disagrees with your take
Duke is 3-2 in Quad 1 wins, while Auburn is 6-1. Auburn has also faced all the other top-five-rated opponents in KenPom, except for themselves and Tennessee, whom they play on the 25th.

Auburn going all the way, memphis too
@AATM.Sports lmao

Auburn definitely would’ve won on a neutral court
Great teams win on the road
