WILD stat from ESPN Research ..
Illinois' fewest points in a game over the last three seasons:
52 points: 2024 Elite Eight vs. UConn
61 points: Nov. 28, 2025 vs. UConn
62 points: 2026 Final Four vs. UConn
๐ Dan Hurley's record in the NCAA tourney: 20-5
๐ Dan Hurley's record over the last four tournaments: 18-1
๐ Dan Hurley's record in the Final Four: 5-0
๐ Dan Hurley's record in the national championship: 2-0
Dan Hurley is inevitable man. Still undefeated in the Sweet 16 and beyond.
You cannot kill this guy. Everyone was writing Duke into the Final Four in the first half.
His teams always believe they will get it done. This group is so special.
Dan Hurley has had several accomplishments.
But that comeback may be the most impressive of them all. UConn never quit. Never folded. Never gave in.
And they are heading to the Final Four.
Tell me you didnโt love the contract or the defense at third. Fine. But trading Rafael Devers in a salary dump just to accommodate a one-year pillow contract for Alex Bregman before he signed elsewhere will go down as one of the biggest fuck ups in professional sports history.
