Illinois (19-11, 11-8 Big Ten) headed into Sunday afternoon’s matchup in Ann Arbor coming off an 81-61 win over Iowa earlier this week, though still just 6-8 in its last 14 games and facing a tall task against a tough-minded No. 15 Michigan (22-7, 14-4 Big Ten) squad.

And after a nationally televised 110-67 routing at the hands of No. 2 Duke just over a week ago, and with the memory still fresh in the minds of those across the college basketball world, it’s safe to say the once highly thought-of Illini came into the Crisler Center with mild expectations.

But after carrying a 31-30 lead into halftime, Illinois coach Brad Underwood’s squad put its foot on the gas and authored arguably its best single-half offensive performance of the season, scoring 62 points after the break en route to a 93-73 statement victory over coach Dusty May’s club – and the ninth straight win for Illinios over Michigan.

And, per usual with an upset in the Big Ten – particularly one delivered in such convincing fashion – a tidal wave of reactions crashed across social media in the aftermath. Here are a few of the best of them:

ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg pointed to Illinois’ high ceiling, which was on full display on Sunday afternoon:

CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli attempted to put in perspective just how much time has passed since the Illini’s last loss against the Wolverines:

Sean Harrington, a former Illini guard turned ESPN analyst, just wants the Big Ten to schedule Illinois vs. Michigan as often as possible:

And the Big Ten Network pointed out Illinois’ high status as just one of four teams to pull off one pretty remarkable feat:
