Brad Underwood on making his first Final Four:
"I'm gonna get emotional, but I've been doing this 39 years. You dream about this as a kid. I dreamt about doing it at Illinois, when my wife bought Tyler, who was maybe 2, a Brian Cook jersey. It's always been a special place. There's been no other thing for me. This is my dream job."
Gies Memorial Stadium will always serve as a beacon of hope, service and sacrifice for those who have transformed the University of Illinois; just like Larry and his father.
Some of my best friends in the world went to this school, and they have a very tough matchup Week 1 this season!
It's the Eastern Illinois Panthers... I might be there Week 1 when DAYTON comes to town!
Thank you to Coach Wilkerson and @EIU_FB for this great box!
