-Think back to last Thursday when we were all in Houston, watching Nebraska lead Iowa for 38 minutes of gametime, only to fall short
at the end…then, that same Iowa team pushed Illinois for 33 minutes before the last 7 got away from them in a 71-59 Illini win.
-The Illini will be joined in the Final Four by Michigan, who took care of Tennessee yesterday; they’ll face Arizona, who pulled away
from Purdue to advance to Indianapolis. First Final Four for Illinois since 2005, and first for Arizona since 2001….
