This is the greatest illinois college basketball team of all the illinois teams i ever seen period. They should of won the championship that year. This team was unbelievable.
This team would have a tough time beating the 20/21 Illini
I dont know though. That 20/21 team still has a lot to prove to me. This 04/05 Illini team was unbelievable they had a magic about them that made it hard to beat them.
@@antwanmoman8188 but they ran into my Tar Heels.
@@Growinggolfing nah, college had a lot more talent then than they do now.
@@cabron247 no, with as much as these kids are playing before college. I believe that makes up for the lack of upperclassmen stars
I won tickets to this game when I was 12 years old, and it was one of the most unforgettable nights of my life. ILL
Jack Ingram and Roger Powell. The two most underrated guys on this team. Absolutely essential.
This Illini team seems to play a lot like the current Golden State Warriors. They spread out the floor nicely, and their guards utilize screens very well to frequently hit open 3's. They're also deadly coming off defensive stops with Dee Brown running the open floor. Overall, their offense just seems so similar to GSW.
I remember this Illinois team as a kid. They were legendary
not legendary like 2005 UNC was.
This was the first ever college basketball game I watched. I was five. Loved basketball ever since.
As a Gonzaga fan as a kid, I definitely thought this Illinois team was gonna win it all. Definitely the best team.
Best three guard lineup in the history of college basketball, period !!
Raymond Felton and Rashad McCants
@@jasonh5547 you have over 30 comments on this video alone, hundreds more on other Illinois basketball videos. You legit have no life and it's kind of sad.
I shall never forget this night. Assembly Hall was explosive!
75-70.
I've been to a lot of sporting events, this was the single best atmosphere for any that I've ever been to in person.
Assembly Hall circa 2000-2006 was the best venue in college basketball in terms of homecourt advantages
Yep. Been mediocre since
Crowd is terrible now. Orange krush suck now
ROFL.
DEE FOR THREE!! One of the very best teams in the history of college basketball we were that year.
2005 National Champion North Carolina Tar Heels
This is the game that catapulted Illinois to No. 1 in the country.
Ted Karr No Shit. We were ranked #3 here lol
North Carolina National Champion April 04 2005 final #1 of that season.
One of the greatest college teams of all time. 35-1 regular season
Well they finished 37-2 and played in the ncaa championship game...so that math doesn't really add up
75-70
@@colejames423 did you not read where it said REGULAR SEASON! Not Tournament… REGULAR SEASON… they lost to North Carolina in the Championship and Ohio state the last game of the REGULAR SEASON. Lil dumb ass boy…
I remember listening to this game while studying in the lab for a HORT 301 exam
Dee brown was the reason why I wore long socks in middle school! That team was dope!
75-70.
God damn, Deron Williams was so good. He had complete control of the game every minute he was in.
RIP orange krush and home court advantage. This was the good ole days and since 2006 the krush and crowd has been terrible.
Illinois is just simply not an elite program like North Carolina is.
@ruethewhirly thank you for having the vision to record this game so all Illini fans can relive this anytime!
College basketball never be this litty ever again.
This crowd and this team was so hungry ... it was a blowout
75-70
This game gives me the chills. This is when the Orange Krush really knew how to make some noise. Hopefully with the Illini playin well this year and really playing an up-tempo style, this will get the OK back to where it was
snapon29 it used to be SO good!
ROFL. Thank goodness for top three all time historical elite program in North Carolina.
Being in the Orange Krush for this game gave me goosebumps!
Everyone remembers how good Williams, Brown and Head were but many people forget about Augustine, Powell, and McBride. This was a great NCAA team and should have been National Champions. Great memories.
ROFL. ELITE North Carolina was not impressed.
@@jasonh5547 calm down there Nancy. That team was 33-4. Good but not elite. Ice ur daddy’s balls down and take uncle Joey’s meat outta ur mouth. Lmfao.
Thank you so much for uploading this game!
Crazy how we were this good. #illinination🔶🔷
Elite North Carolina was even better and 2005 UNC was not even a top five all time UNC team.
watched the game at legends on campus. place was nuts.
I really wish I had that one. I'm an Arizona fan, but that was a great game with a great atmosphere. If I find it, I'll be sure to upload it
Big game tomorrow for the orange and blue. It's almost poetry the resemblance between this game and tomorrow's. Hopefully this ages well
27:26 is what I come to this game for. The moment we all knew this was going to be awesome for sure.
75-70; also two more National Championships since 2005 along with two other national runner-ups since 2005. North Carolina basketball elite basketball
This team had that “magic” like special teams do. This 2020-2021 team is playing well but I don’t believe that they have that “magic” like this 2004-2005 team did.
75-70. Thank goodness for Elite North Carolina.
I wish the Illini could play like this now but I still love my team #GoIllini
They're looking pretty good!! I-L-L
IL-🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think Illinois should have sent Bill Self a FF plaque since he literally built this Illinois team that made the NC game ..Then Weber should have sent Frank Martin a thank you letter for leaving him with so much talent at KState..allowing him to have 2 really good years when he first arrived...Weber is a great care taker of good teams, he just cant build one of his own
THE moment I knew we were not gonna stay elite was when Weber hit the recruiting trail with case studies of Dee Brown, Deron Williams, and Luther Head...and could only bring in 2-star Chester Frazier as his future point guard. It was a monumental failure of PG recruiting.
I just watched Valpo vs Illinois a few minutes ago and seen Roger Powell Jr head coaching... I remember how good of a people he was man... We should have got the Naty in 04
Back when University of Illinois basketball was good.
Still no Sweet 16 appearance sine 2005.
how about Illinois arizona 05. now thats a game worth uploading
Roger powell looked like a mix of mike tyson and michael jordan! Lol
Do you have the wake forest vs unc triple overtime game? Chris Paul's freshman year.
God, why can't Weber put a team like this together at K-State?! I couldn't believe he ever had this much success!
+Lord Krayt He didn't recruit any of the big name players Illinois had here
Yeah, I guess that was Bill Self
+Lord Krayt they were all self players. also, all 5 starters went on to play in the nba. once in a lifetime team.
But he did totally change the offense they ran. People never give that guy any credit for anything.
He wasn't that good. The setup was perfect because he had 5 player on the floor who could handle the ball, shot and run. They made motion look easy. Then after they were gone his teams struggled even though they had talent but I different type of player. This was Golden State before Golden State. They set records in Illinois history in poor shooting and scoring after these guy left and never adjusted to his talent. It's easy to run this offense with those guards. It's telling when you don't have them and refuse to adjust and blame 18-20 year olds for not getting it done. Inheriting this team was fools gold.
What an illini team this was! Wish they won the national title that year, even as a Michigan fan.
Kentucky vs Duke 92 was great. Illini vs Michigan 89 semis was the most underatted game ever. 2nd half was a battle. No pun. The lead changes an ties were crazy. Anderson gets blame for his non block out. To me Rice was the one who the illini or any team had no chance with 6 9 jump shooter from 25. Great game was the champioship game to me.
Illinois and Michigan have something in common. Both were defeated by Elite North Carolina in the National Title game. Thank goodness for Elite North Carolina!
is there anyway u can upload the 2011 pac-10 championship arizona vs washington?
This game was on 12/1/04. Not 12/4/04.
This was the game for the Illini that season where you knew they would be special.
not as special as Elite North Carolina was.
Can you upload the 2005 Arizona-Illinois game?
Any chance of Uconn vs Pitt in 2009?
That game cost me a lot of money.
that game in 05 was that the triple ot game
can u please upload celtics vs cavs 2010 playoff series
this sick was so sick
Just imagine if Brian cook stayed one more year. Illinois could have won
If you wanna upload the best game...upload Wake Forest vs UNC 2005 in Feb.
louisville vs syracuse 2009 last game at freedom hall
That's a awesome game n so is the Tennessee n Louisville game too.
The night Deron Williams handed Chris Paul his lunch.
75-70
@@jasonh5547 Wrong game. Illinois 91 Wake Forest 74.
@@daviddaugherty5528 I was actually reminding Illini fandom that despite the Wake Forest game that Illinois eventually lost to a superior team in UNC who would have probably had won by 15-20 points if not for the moving screens.
rip student section. (2020)
Rip student section for years and years now. Orange krush and crowd was intense years ago and this arena was tough to win in. Not anymore. Krush and crowd has been terrible since 2008.
@@jayboek2854 Well, when Illinois actually does something on a national level then enthusiasm might return. Illinois has not made it to the 2nd weekend of the NCAA Tourney since 2005 lol.
