[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 2063264, member: 590800"] Another reminder of what a great season it was! This group will certainly live on in the memories of Illini fans, that is for sure. For reference, here are our top 10 AP finishes all-time, with the NCAAT finish in parentheses (and by the way, it appears that the "Final AP Poll" in past years was before the NCAA Tournament?). 2024: #6 (Elite Eight) 2021: #2 (Second Round) 2005: #1 (National Runner-Up) 2001: #4 (Elite Eight) 1989: #3 (Final Four) 1984: #6 (Elite Eight) 1963: #8 (Elite Eight) 1956: #10 (No NCAAT) 1952: #2 (Final Four) 1951: #5 (Final Four) 1949: #4 (Final Four) I love 'em, but the 2021 squad's faceplant vs. Loyola really stands out. While we have underachieved a LOT with our top 15 teams, our top 10 teams have all at least made the Elite Eight except for 2021. [/QUOTE]
