After spending the first four years of his career at Southern Illinois, Marcus Domask made the decision to transfer to Illinois and now has the Illini dreaming big heading into the Sweet 16.

Back in October, as he was walking out of the Target Center at Big Ten Media Day, I asked Brad Underwood what the key was going to be for his team this season. The seventh-year Illinois head coach spoke about a number of things surrounding his program, which he had led to three straight NCAA Tournament appearances, but he lit up when discussing one player.

' Domask credits his dad, Dan, who coached him and his older brother Mason at Waupun High School in Wisconsin, for the versatility aspect of his game. Marcus led the school to its first-ever state championship as a freshman. As a senior, he broke the school's all-time scoring record, previously held by Mason, and was named Mr. Basketball in the state of Wisconsin.
