It has now been two days since the Illinois basketball program was able to take down the No. 10 ranked Duke Blue Devils.

I would venture to say there are a lot of Duke fans who share the feeling of, “act like you have been there” when it comes to Illinois fans celebrating this victory. Well, Duke fans, some Illinois fans haven’t been there and, for the rest of us, it has been a very, very long time.
