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."
Illinois legitimately might have been the most overlooked 3-seed in March Madness history.
Absolutely NOBODY had Illinois getting to the Final Four.
World going to have to pay attention now.
