This is the first time Illinois has earned the double-bye in the tournament. The last time they finished in the top 4, was in the 2008-09 season. There were only 11 teams in the Big Ten and no Wednesday games.
Here's the seeding history going back to that season.

It's been a long time since Illinois was this good.
