Yes I said Baseball not basketball-What this Illinois team is doing this year is special.
CARBONDALE, Ill. - In its final midweek game of the year, No. 6 Illinois completed a perfect month and extended its school-record winning streak to 18 games with a 7-5 victory over Southern Illinois. The Illini finished 16-0 in April and notched an unblemished 9-0 mark in midweek tilts. The Orange and Blue tallied their seven runs and 10 of their 11 hits in the first five innings.
Illinois' 18-game winning streak is the longest active in the NCAA and second-longest this season behind Texas A&M (24). The NCAA record winning streak (34) is owned by Texas (1977) and Florida Atlantic (1999).
The Illini continued their best start in program history (37-6-1) and boast the best winning percentage in the NCAA (.852
