SI.com – 2005 NCAA Basketball Tournament – Late rally sends Illini past Arizona into Final Four – Saturday March 26, 2005 11:48PM

Having been ill all weekend, I missed some really exciting moments in the NCAA Tournament. I am especially happy that the Illini got into the Final Four. It was simply icing on the cake that Michigan State got there, too. I’m not a fan of Michigan State but it’s great that two out of the four teams are from the Big Ten. I think that should silence, at least for a while, the many critics of the Big Ten. Here’s hoping that MSU and Illinois make it to the title game.

    Thanks, Mike, for commenting. I’m still pretty new to Indiana (have only lived here for about three years) so struggle with the label “Hoosier.” I’m from the Urbana-Champaign area in Illinois, and got my undergraduate and graduate degrees from UIUC, so obviously, that’s where my roots are.
