 I am jazzed up. Yukon fans are riding high after the Huskies crushed the fighting Illinois 77 to 52 in the East Regional Final on Saturday at TD Garden. The top seeded team was neck and neck with Illinois by the end of the first half, but a stunning run in the second propelled the Huskies to victory. Yeah the 30-0 run to start the second half. Unbelievable. It was it was the best. It was the best basketball I've seen all year. That run was the Huskies greatest since Daniel Hurley became their coach back in 2018. Yukon alum Julie Frenness credits Hurley for the team's persistence in this year's March Madness tournament. Even if they're winning by a large margin they're still playing hard and I hope they continue to do that through every game toward the championship. As for the fighting Illinois the sting of the second half remains fresh. The last 15 minutes weren't really even emotional. Illinois got down so big that it was just deflating honestly. The Huskies will head to Glendale, Arizona's State Farm Stadium next week to compete in the final four where they will face off against the winner of tonight's Clemson Alabama game.
