Waited almost 20 years to finally be back on this stage, just can’t wait for the game to get here. The nerves will kick in and I definitely will be sad if we lose since I think we are capable of more, but it’s just so great to be in a game like this again.

It’s time, y’all.
For the first time since March 24, 2005 - 19 years and 4 days - when Illinois defeated Satan and his UW-Milwaukee squad in the middle of a march to the National Championship game, Illinois will play in the Sweet 16.
A little more than 14 hours until tip time. Let’s get this one. This team is too fun to stop watching.
