Re-visiting Illinois’ unlikely journey to the Final Four
Everyone thought the Illini would be here three weeks ago…right?!
On this ‘Oskee Talk’ extra, I remind Illini fans to embrace the moment (3:17). I revisit Illinois’ path to Indianapolis (4:22) and spotlight the Illini’s standout March Madness performers (11:03). I also look back at UConn’s road to the Final Four (15:42), including their unlikely Elite Eight victory versus Duke (17:32).
I recap the season’s first Illinois/UConn game (21:17), dive into The Champaign Room’s scouting report (28:33), and discuss the reasons why the Illini can (31:47) and won’t (35:53) win. Finally, I look at trends worth watching (38:14), how Illinois has seized their tournament opportunity (44:03), and urge Illini fans to make their presence felt in Indy (46:29). Click HERE to listen!
