Goodbye, friends, from Augusta Georgia!

Brad Underwood tried to fight back tears when talking about special this and this season was.

"I hope this team created memories that last a lifetime for a lot of people, no matter what age -- They did for me."

[The Field of 68 @TheFieldOf68]

“I feel sad, I’m sad. If you want to know the truth, I’m sad… I’m going to steal a quote from Kelvin Sampson: ‘I may not be as big a part of their life, but they are my life.’”

An emotional Brad Underwood after their loss to UConn.

Dear Family —

Thank you.

During my time we made history, not just for ourselves, but for generations to come. And to think, it happened here, in my own hometown.

Now, as I lay down my arms, I reflect on my time in the Orange & Blue.

Mother… I’m returning to the Farm.

Dear Mother —

Our journey… continues.

We defeated Iowa in a hard fought battle for immortality.

Now, we prepare to head back to the Midwest. Where we’re among the last four platoons being sent to battle.

I send my best to Fort Chambana… we fight for the Farm.

I-L-L

#Illini Zvonimir Ivišić, aka Croatian Radio: “How long did it take you to grow that hair out, and the mustache?”

Jake Davis: “It’s been 8 years on both. The mustache won’t get any longer. The hair keeps getting longer.”

Tomislav wanted to ask a question, but he got cut off 😂

The City of Champaign is enacting an emergency order restricting the sale of alcohol on the U of I’s campus ahead of tomorrow’s Elite Eight matchup against Iowa.

The mayor says it’s, “…to reduce the possibility of public safety hazards…”

Hear about it tonight at 5 on WCIA 3.

Houston, we have a problem…

Dear Mother —

The Cougars of Houston are behind us. It was a brutal, close quarters fight, a true test of strength and will, more akin to a brawl than a battle. On their turf, we prevailed.

A familiar foe awaits us on the other side of today… we march on.

@espn @BuschBeer Busch Lite is now the Champaign of beers 🍺

[Capt. Kylan Boswell @CaptKyBoswell]

Dear Mother —

The impending clash with the Cougars will happen tonight.

We pray for guidance and protection, hoping that divine favor will shine upon us as we confront the Cougars on their turf.

Whatever the outcome, it’s been an honor to represent the orange and blue.

Dear Mother —

I write to you with a heart full of hope and a spirit buoyed by our recent victory against VCU.

The fight was fierce… many brave men gave their all. However, we are marching as a top sixteen unit.

Someday I hope they take me to the Balkans…

Illinois freshman David Mirkovic with a wild stat line in his March Madness debut 😳

29 PTS | 11-17 FG | 17 REBS

[Michelle @mcripe]

@mid_madness That guy had more outfit changes than Taylor Swift. He was leading the VCU crowd with chants while wearing a Superman jersey.

[NCAA March Madness @MarchMadnessMBB]

"Mirkovic is on another level" 🤯
