I actually had a post rattling around about how sad Illinois is. How their basketball band plays the long, boring song at halftime that Chief NCAABannedMe would dance around to, despite the Chief’s NCAA-mandated vacation.
After last night’s basketball performance, what’s sad is how they play basketball. And if Chief NCAABannedMe watched the game, he’s probably happy he’s on a beach in Maui sipping rum instead of having to watch an Illinois team that had the talent and players to blow Western Kentucky clear out of the build spend the middle 20 minutes of the game dicking around and end up with a loss.
As a result, the best-spelling team in the Big Ten can now go home and practice their 3rd grade words.
