I was at that Ohio State game. My first Illini game ever. I was heartbroken. And yet, completely hooked.

This Illini team isn't just the best offense this year, it's historically great. I know it's tough to compare Kenpom numbers across years, but it's fair to say that this team is special. I still think it hinges on how well we play on the other end.

2001 East Region Elite 8 game Midwest Regional No. 2 Arizona 87, No. 1 Illinois 81 The Bill Walton Game. Alternately the 6-Illini-Foul-Out Game.

Seems we know how to play without Shannon, but don’t know how to play with sub-par Shannon. Hopefully we won’t have to from here on out

With two fouls to give! Foul him.

It was definitely Sidney.

I will never consider Northwestern a rival, any more than EIU or UIC.
