When electric orange was the coolest color - a podcast by Jake Williams

We re-live the best season in Illinois basketball program history - how the Illini and coach Bruce Weber were ahead of their time, and we discuss the greatest moments of the season - a demolition of Chris Paul and then-#1 Wake Forest, the greatest comeback in NCAA Tournament history and the first and only time Illinois reached the national championship game. 

For five months, the Illini couldn't lose, and they made everything cool - even the fluorescent orange usually reserved for traffic cones and hunting vests.
