Episode 293: How sweet it is Inside Illini Basketball

    • Basketball

Illinois is back in the Sweet 16. For the first time since 2005. March
success had evaded Illinois for nearly two decades. A spot in the Sweet 16
was all the fan base wanted. Now that it's been secured? Might as well win
the whole thing. The challenge gets stiffer — Iowa State for sure, then
probably reigning champions UConn — but Illinois has proven in the last
two weeks it's also one of the best teams in the country. Beat writer
Scott Richey discusses that and more in this week's Inside Illini
Basketball.
