The fact they didn't win by 30 like UNLV did against Duke once again should be used to measure the coaching.
Say what? They won the national championsip and you're criticizing them for not winning by 30?

Don't do such a disservice to Illinois. Let's not forget that not only were the odds on favorite to win the tourney from the beginning, they were also the favorite to beat Carolina. Newspapers across the country touted the game as the best team vs. the best talent. In the end, we found out that the best talent was the best team. Not winning by 30 doesn't make that trophy any less deserved or enjoyable.
