I liked that we were entering this game with nothing to lose. Our boys played just as I hoped, great effort and energy and great defense. I was just hoping to beat the spread to be honest. Was just hoping to see a hard fought game with a chance to possibly win. No way I saw this. Trent and Curbelo were so good tonight. Just what we needed. This Illini team looks amazing. In 2005 I had a certain confidence about every game. I now have that with this team. We are legitimately good. March is really looking good! Go Illini!
