What made Michigan-Illinois such a rivalry was that they crushed us in the first two games of the season--like 20 point blowouts. They were a tough fast squad and they just flat out crushed us. It was shocking when we finally overcame them in the final four. But, yes, I suppose that's pretty much when the rivalry ended....Regarding playing fantasy basketball with recruits, I agree....game on. I was a freshman at U-M during the 1989 Final Four Run.

It was there year to win the NCAA Championship. 4 out of 5 starters went on to play in the NBA. Sounds familiar. We did too.

One game to start a rivalry. Am I "misremembering"....there was no fights in the game or anything was there? I know they beat us twice in the regular season but.....

The reason they hate us is pretty simple, though. They have never gotten over the 1989 Final Four. JayRich, I don’t consider them a rival either. The reason they hate us is pretty simple, though.
