Illinois Alums Represent 28 Schools in NCAA Tourney
“It's TIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEE” – Mariah Carey
It's that time of year where we can all get excited about the NCAA Tournament which gets kicked off this week across the country. This is always a time for me at Prep Dig to reflect a bit, seeing a lot of former athletes that we've covered at Prep Dig get to live out their dreams playing at the game's biggest dance.
We have them all (We should….I went through every roster)!
