Its unusual for a Wisconsinite to apologize to Illini LOL, but I do regret using the 2025 Illini instead of the 2024 squad with Coleman Hawkins that made the Elite 8. I may sub that out in the game.
As is, the Illini opened by scoring the first 9 points, both excellent defenses clamped down including neither team scoring from the 5 minute to the 1:30 mark.
Tre White broke that stretch with a bucket to pull the Illini within 57-53, but the 2013 Florida Gulf Coast team that became known as "Dunk City" held on for a 63-58 win to advance.
FGSU advances to play Jimmy Valvano's NC State champs. These two teams were ranked 228th and 229th - so dead even, while NC State will be favored as they are in the top.100.
