Illinois…you’ve come a long way, baby!
Remember that day five years ago this month? The Illini made the unprecedented trip south to Charleston to play Eastern Illinois in an exhibition with the proceeds going to hurricane relief. It was Brad Underwood’s first time coaching his new program in a game-like setting and an experience he may still have nightmares about. The Panthers schooled Illinois in front of a sold-out Lantz Arena crowd to the tune of 80-67.
Luckily it was only an exhibition, but it showed Underwood just how far he needed to go to resurrect the once-proud Illini program to national status.
