Illinois has by far played the toughest schedule of anyone in the Big Ten right now so its tough to get a gauge on just how good they will be come Big Ten play.

The Illini’s last four losses came to Georgetown, now #1 Gonzaga, Iowa State and Xavier.

All pretty good basketball programs, so while it has been pretty disappointing so far for the Fighting Illini so far don’t close the book on them yet.

Rounding out the bottom of this list is Penn State as they have played one of the worst schedules in the Big Ten so far, and still managed to be 3-2 with losses coming to DePaul and Bradley.

Next. Buckeyes have edge over Sooners for 4th CFP Spot. dark

This is unacceptable for a program that should have been in the NCAA Tournament last season and proved it by winning the NIT.
