Let's just be honest. That Illinois volleyball is playing in the Elite Eight at Huff Hall is a pretty big deal. The Illini (31-3) are just a single win away from their first Final Four appearance since the 2011 team was the NCAA runners-up and just the fourth overall in program history.
Hey @IlliniVBall fans, tomorrow's @news_gazette is probably one you should pick up. Three pages of coverage from today's Sweet 16 win (interspersed with a little @IlliniMBB news). Doing it all over again tomorrow, too. #Illini pic.
