One of the many, many things I loved about this season was Robert tweeting out the "it's been 1,488 days" or whatever since Wisconsin beat Illinois or since Michigan beat Illinois.
Well, give or take a few leap years, and I didn't take much math during my time at Illinois, think it's been around 6,939 days since Illinois played a Sweet 16 game. Here's hoping we never come close to that long of a drought again. We beat Bruce Pearl in this spot the last time we were in it, didn't think it could get better than that. But after a wait like we've endured, going to be even sweeter when we win tonight.
