Illinois proved that they can play ball...coming back from being down against 'Zona. Granted, you can go either way (blame 'Zona or praise Illinois), but it still shows what type of team they have to come back with 2 minutes to go.

It amazes me how underrated Illinois still is...they've lost one game this year, by 1 point. They play in a relatively strong basketball conference (Big 10), and totally dominated. They beat Wake, Cincy, Wisconsin three times, Michigan State, Gonzaga and Arizona...all tourney teams, including one in the Final Four. Their closest win all season was being Iowa by 5...they have one or 2 other games with sub 10 point leads, with the rest of their wins by at least 10 points.
