Illini back on the right path?

When the postgame Senior Day ceremony ended and the fans started to depart, the Illinois players headed off the floor in giddy fashion. Brandon Paul rode on Mike Tisdale's back while Jereme Richmond, repeating a scene from pregame warmups, took a ride on Meyers Leonard's back.

From a mental standpoint, these Illini appear to be back where they were during the first half of the year...when they were much more confident and care-free. That probably goes hand-in-hand with their better showings on the court.
