Season recap by WCIA of the amazing "Flyin' Illini" basketball season of 1988-89. Coached by Lou Henson and led by Kenny Battle, Kendall Gill, Nick Anderson, Stephen Bardo, and Lowell Hamilton, the Illini were #1 in the nation and made a memorable run to the Final Four in Seattle. They finished the year at 31-5, at the time the best record in school history.
This is converted from an old (well-viewed) VHS copy and all applicable rights belong to WCIA, where it originally aired in April 1989. There are a couple of tracking issues within the first 2 minutes, but after that most of it is good quality. Go IllinI!
