I've just registered after enjoying this forum for a long time, and especially this season. What a wild and unexpected ride these guys gave us. They are not the most talented group, top to bottom, but they are warriors, battlers, junkyard dogs. They never quit and they never hung their heads. I suspect they became a family in the crucible of this season, and that will help them now as they deal with being denied a chance to carry their torch into the BTT and beyond. They have the memories of an unforgettable season, and the appreciation of Illini fans everywhere. This group always will be remembered as the special guys who got the ball rolling for Illini hoops again. Oskee-wow-wow, Illinois!
