Love this from #Illini head coach Brad Underwood - asked if he has any issue/finds it unfair to have to play Houston IN Houston in the Sweet 16. "I could care less... I'm an old JUCO ball coach. I drove on 16 passenger fans. I drove from Dodge City, Kansas to Mesa, Arizona for a basketball game... If you had told me back then that I'm getting to coach basketball in the Sweet 16 and play Houston - I would sign up for it, I would crawl to get there." Says regardless of where the game is, Illinois would/will need to play well to beat the Cougars. (Video from NCAA)

Don't see this every day: A reporter offered to ask Andrej Stojakovic a question in the postgame press conference in a different language. Andrej suggested they stick to English so the rest of us could understand. He wanted to know if the #Illini junior plans to play for the Serbian national team, plus if he thinks Illinois can compete for a title. "I don't know how anyone could expect me not to say we're going for a National Championship. That's ridiculous if I don't think that we have the confidence to win it all." Underwood jumps in: "Good answer!"

#illini QB Luke Altmyer said some South Carolina players thought they were Syracuse at a combined team event this week. "Been hearing all this talk about SEC, SEC in the playoff and things like that, and I'm just tired of the disrespect. Illinois has been a disrespected program for a long time. I know that because I'm from that area and that conference. I don't think that's the case anymore."

#Illini head coach Brad Underwood credits assistant coach Cam Crocker for the defensive game plan. He says Illinois planned to let Chris Cenac take short/mid-range jump shots. "Every shot he took was one their guards didn't take... It worked." (Video from KXAN)

#Illini | In a hotel elevator in Houston, Illinois head coach Bret Bielema was reminded of the 2025 loss to the Indiana Hoosiers -- by a 1979 alum "You're Bielema?!" the woman said. "Yes," Bielema responded. Illinois lost 63-10. "That wasn't a good day for you, was it?" she said. Bielema seemed like a good sport about it, retelling the story to the media. He laughed and said he can't wait to tell Curt Cignetti about the story. Bielema was in Texas on a recruiting trip with several coaches.
