[QUOTE="Illinoiz, post: 1534905, member: 747146"] 1984, 89, 01, 05? C'mon. How about those Whiz Kids? Heartbreaking losses in 84, 89 and 05. 84 team got the royal shaft having to play KY at Rupp. According to Wiki, there were rumors homers messed with the clock. Wasn't there some Mickey Mouse at the end? (Wiki is hardly a great source, though.) But it is a fact that after that game, no longer could a team play on its home court in the tournament. To be fair, KY beat Illinois by two at Assembly Hall in December that season. Eager to watch 89 versus 05. Thanks again. Let's hope future Illinois teams become legends. (This season was a real good start). [/QUOTE]
