Enjoy from my personal collection of NCAA Tournament games. I absolutely couldn't wait for this first-round game between Penn and Illinois, which ironically happened this past 2026 NCAA Tournament. I remember being off of school this Friday for St. Patrick's Day, pumped up as Illinois was the first game of the late morning and DePaul was playing later that night at the Lawrence Joel Coliseum in Winston Salem, North Carolina. By the way, I absolutely loved the Illini's white uniforms on the bright parquet court at Wake Forest. Illinois pretty much controlled this game against Penn, leading by about ten points most of the way. I remember the Quakers were led by guard Michael Jordan (no, not that Michael Jordan) and Matt Langel, who is the current head coach at Colgate. Speaking of current head coaches, Seton Hall's Shaheen Holloway starred during the Pirates' victory against Oregon, hitting a game-winning layup on the ugly court of the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, New York.
