Oh how I miss this team.

As we wait for what should be another exciting basketball season for Brad Underwood and Co., it’s never a bad time to look back at our beloved 2020-21 team.

Particularly, that night they humiliated the Michigan Wolverines on their home floor.

CONTEXT

It’s Feb. 11, 2021.

Illinois and Michigan are set to face off...or maybe not.

The game is postponed. The Michigan athletic department is coming off a two-week COVID pause and the basketball team is set to miss its fifth consecutive game.

Never mind the fact that the pause actually ended four days before the game was scheduled to tip off and Michigan just didn’t quite feel like they were ready to play.
