Illinois earned another massive road victory over a Top 5 team on Sunday. The Fighting Illini overran Nebraska 78-69 and flexed their way to another notch on the win streak that currently sits at 11.

I think this Illinois team might be special. They move the ball. Everyone can shoot well from the perimeter. And their defensive chemistry has improved over this win streak. Such a fun team to watch and root for this season.

It was not too long ago that a very good Illinois team hit a wall in March. This group looks capable of powering through. It all depends on the matchups, but as a 2 seed or even a 1 seed, this squad might make a Final Four.

Wouldn’t that be something?

On a related note, I’m loving the fact that Illinois basically is running with either the script Illinois jerseys in white, orange and blue or the Fighting Illini white, orange and blue. I know the Nike graphics are still on tap, but they don’t pop like the script and ’89 team style.
