I stand corrected on them underperforming their seed. That said, Illinois is by far and away the more storied basketball program. Before Few, Gonzaga was a small obscure school that was known only because of its weird name because it had absolutely zero basketball accomplishments. I think the 29 (or so) and under crowd on here put way too much stock on the bad basketball played in the last 12 years. Illinois is one of the top 15 or so basketball schools in NCAA history. We will be back to prominence again with Underwood at the helm and it starts tomorrow and then a week from now against Gonzaga.Four straight years in the second weekend. This is becoming an expired talking point.
