[QUOTE="illini510, post: 2056269, member: 748857"] Another thing about the 2001 team being better than the 2024 team: That 2001 team won 6 games against top 25 opponents and was an even deeper team than this year's squad was. Not all Elite 8 teams are created equal and not all Illini Elite 8 teams are created equal either. That's not to take away from what this team did but it had a slightly different feel from that 2001 team. This team could never beat the top 10 upper echelon teams other than Iowa St. I believe had it not been for the Iowa St win, people would have looked at the Sweet 16 appearance differently. [/QUOTE]
