Do you know what today is? Honestly, I probably would have forgotten if it wasn’t for Mike Pearson (@illinilegends) tweeting about it yesterday. Today, April 4, 2019, is the 14-year anniversary of the Illini falling to North Carolina in the national championship game.
That game, among others in that NCAA tournament, will always be remembered. I will always remember I just turned 15 years old a few months prior. My dad and I were down in Myrtle Beach during my spring break my freshman year in high school. We played 36 holes of golf every day down there for a week.
