All-in-all, a great day if you ignore the worst Illinois loss of my lifetime.

@samlabelle @Equipment_Guru @BengalYouTube My man!!! Amazing to hear. Appreciate you taking a look at it, and can’t wait to get hands on the game soon.

@BengalYouTube Love the channel! Next time you connect with someone at EA, any chance you can ask them why they continue to use the wrong Illinois logo?

ARE YOU WITH US?

For the first time since 2005, we're heading to the FINAL FOUR.

@WhityRemarks @AB1132 I’ve heard the same. I remember Krush as part of the Illini Pride RSO while I was there and involved. I think the dynamic with DIA changed at some point after I graduated in 2017 so I’m not an expert on that whole situation.

[Jim Vainisi @JimVainisi]

@AB1132 Hoping it was a misinterpretation of our brand docs! The idea of minimizing our Orange on stuff like this bums me out!

@sn1per_T is the first Illini to be drafted in the first round since 2012.
