March 6, 2022: Illinois 74, Iowa 72

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Justice for last year? A poetic ending for the seniors? Whatever you want to say, the Illini are Big Ten Champs.

Thanks to Nebraska’s upset win over No. 10 Wisconsin, Illinois entered Sunday night with a chance to clinch a share of the Big Ten regular season title. A year after Illinois felt they were snubbed in the conference standings, the basketball gods gave Illinois a golden opportunity: win and be Big Ten co-champions.

“Never said a word [to the guys about Nebraska winning]. They knew,” said Illini head coach Brad Underwood. “It was more about dealing with the emotions of Senior Night.”

And in what may have been the biggest regular season game in the Underwood era, No. 20 Illinois outlasted No. 24 Iowa, 74-72, at State Farm Center. Confetti fell from the rafters, fans stormed the court and the Illini cut down the nets as Big Ten regular season champs.
