Earlier that season (after the Illinois “white collar” comment) it was essentially board consensus that Beilein had to go.

The next 2.5 years could not be foreseen, and this tournament run kickstarted it all.  What a great ride!

What a great watch. Loved hearing how vivid their memories of specific plays and moments were, you can tell how much everyone on that team meant to each other.
