In the 70 years I have been an Illini fan, nothing in a B1G season game has ever been more pleasant than this start (with a nod of respect to Nick Anderson). But it is only a start. IU will come out with energy to start the second half. Illini defense must be huge with their energy to start the second half or this will get a lot stickier. Pretty sure they cannot win if they can't score over 60 in the next 20 min. of clock if that kind of defense is the case.I know a lot of us have been watching Illini basketball for a long time. Oregon is one thing...but this is....this is something else.
