A-Maize-ing (03/02/25)

A mere eight days after a blowout vs. Duke, Illinois basketball wins in emphatic fashion at Michigan 93-73, their ninth straight against the Wolverines. Mike Carpenter reacts after the surprising victory, made even more impressive by how Brad Underwood's team had been struggling the previous month. With two straight wins, the Illini look ahead to their Big Ten finale on Friday night against Purdue in what should be a fantastic home atmosphere. The orange-clad masses are left to ponder . . . are we back?
