Illinois 90 - Arizona 89. Unbelievable! The Illini were down by 15 late in the game and outscore the Wildcats 20 to 5 forcing overtime. They then go up by 6 before holding onto a 1 point win, with Arizona shooting an airball at the buzzer.
Definitely one the greatest come from behind wins in basketball history. I don't know whether Illinois will win their next two games. They may have used up all their luck tonight, but it's great to see them in the Final Four. I think that they've proven that they deserved to be ranked #1 the last seventeen weeks. Go Illini!!!

We're loyal to you Illinois,
We're "Orange and Blue," Illinois,

'Gainst the best in the land,
For we know you have sand, Illinois,

Fling out that dear old flag of Orange and Blue,
Lead on your sons and daughters, fighting for you;
Like men of old, on giants placing reliance, shouting defiance
Oskee wow-wow!
Amid the broad green plains that nourish our land,
For honest Labor and for Learning we stand,
And unto thee we pledge our heart and hand,
Dear Alma Mater Illinois.
