Illinois 105, Penn 70 Postgame
- Status
Round one of March Madness 2026 will forever be remembered as…
… The Mirkovic Miracle.
One of the most thorough tournament victories in Illini history.
Good to see different guys get loose in the blowout and see the ball go in the net. Tomas with a confidence restoring 3. Ben’s shot looks nicely calibrated.
And good to see our old friend, Fran.
On to VCU - another team we should physically overwhelm.
And to think… we had a mediocre first half.
Honest question...Who on here remembers that 1986 2nd round game against Alabama that they just showed the graphic for?

David Marchovic!
Please don't start that. Please.
I love the adjustments Brad and staff made at half! A few easy shots at the rim completely take the pressure off of the threes and they start falling as a result! Progress!
30 point beatdown after leading at half by 10! Nice tuneup. Now let's play as hard as we did in that half for a whole game and take care of a super athletic VCU team!

Keep that going. What a simple turnaround.
