Best team in each state

and how many times have we seen a prediction of Northwestern having a good year? :roll:
It is quite possible that again for the 3rd consecutive year, no team inside of Illinois would be in the NCAA

The next time Northwestern does something relevant will the first time. I suppose people mention them because they believe that they have to make the tournament someday.

To your second point, I think it's likely even more than possible.
 
I think it is something like 5 of the last 8 years no team from Illinois has made the NCAA tournament.

Some interesting info here. The last time each of the D-I teams in the state of Illinois made the NCAA tournament:

U of I - 2013
SIU - 2007
Bradley -2006
DePaul - 2004
UIC - 2004
EIU - 2001
ISU - 1998
NIU - 1996
Northwestern - NEVER
WIU - NEVER
 
I think BU has as much chance to be the next team from Illinois as anyone does...

and good thing last year they didn't do the best team in each county - cuz suspect Bradley wouldn't have even won for Peoria County

Sun times has a column about the best teams in the State of Illinois....
there's mention of Coach Wardle, Alec Peters, Josh Cunningham, ISU, EIU, etc..
http://suntimeshighschoolsports.com/2015/09/23/henricksen-state-programs-looking-state-recruits/

a little over the top.... using words like "terrific", "pointing up", "..should keep in-state recruits intrigued", "knocking on the NCAA Tournament door",
"tantalizing", "terrific job targeting the right prospects", "difference-makers"...etc...
