What a team. As fun as it is to look back i think the pain of this team not winning a national championship when they were clearly the best team in the country is still a raw nerve and 2005 just gave me another! My favorite player? #13
Marcus come out of high school with a lot of fanfare, but he never lived up to the hype his stock was dropping very quickly and he knew he had to get out of college before too many scouts noticed he still had a little name recognition left so he took the leap, but he would have never developed into much and he didn't, nice guy thou
@mongoslade277 , excellent observation. It hurt his development. He didn't get much stronger and lost that continuity. He went to the wrong school. He should've been developed as a 2 / 3. Not a 4 / 5. I'm happy the brother did make it to the NBA and became successful at life!! I used to go to all of his games a King. Doc Liberty 🗽 was Special!!
I remember the night this game was played. I was watching Pitt-Florida on USA Network and the final score from this game popped up and my jaw dropped seeing 127-100. Too bad Stanley Roberts wasn’t playing in this one. Stupid Prop 48 rule.
Unforgettable! Wasn't that super bowl Sunday? Niners vs Bengals? Pretty sure it was. But the Illinois at Indiana game Sunday after noon and it was like a bomb went off in my friends house with about 15 of us watching great memories

This Illinois team was one of the most athletic teams in the history of the NCAA
instaBlaster...
Did they win it all, so much for athleticism
I would probably go with 1990 -91 UNLV with grand ma ma Tarks Sharks,the Running Rebels Larry Johnson and Co

SUCKY COACH
I love watching this team, so badass
They all had great mid range shot ability! Lost art today
Marcus Liberty and Lowell Hamilton were underrated! This team were 9 - 10 deep with legitimate Div 1 starters!! Unbelievable talent!!
Marcus Liberty was over rated
@@claudejackson1555 National high school player of the year overrated??

Sitting out that year hurt Liberty. Prop 48. If they tried that nonsense today in this one & done era they'd be no division 1-A college basketball

Does anybody have the entire Illinois Iowa game from February 4 1993 ? My vhs copy is worn out and I would love to watch it again !
How in the hell did Dale Brown not even make the final four with a team that had Shaq, Stanley Roberts, and Chris Brown!
Great Recruiter Terrible Xs and Os coach...LSU had Chris Jackson, Sims, Singleton, Shaq, Stanley Roberts, Mo Williamson...AllStar Team
Chris brown raps and sings. Shaq came the next year
@@MDAA313 I meant Chris Jackson; thank you for reminding me that Chris Brown is a singer!
@@rickykenny4257 lol it's all good
Didn't make it past the 2nd round. Too much talent maybe??
Totally
Someone post the entire Georgia Tech Flyin Illini game
Which one. Georgia Tech and Illinois played twice that season
Unforgettable! Wasn't that super bowl Sunday? Niners vs Bengals? Pretty sure it was. But the Illinois at Indiana game Sunday after noon and it was like a bomb went off in my friends house with about 15 of us watching great memories
Flyin Illini killed LSU
Considering the talent on this team, LSU COACH was horrible
