How you know you’re an Illini basketball fan…

To wit:

Wisconsin: 19 team fouls, 13-20 FT (mostly in garbage time)
Illinois: 18 team fouls (mostly in garbage time), 20-23 FT

…and I’m still pretty sure the Illini got jobbed by the refs. 🙂

In all seriousness, the Illini were just flat today – as they have been for a good portion of the Big Ten season. Bruce Weber and Demetri McCamey had another boil-over today, and any hopes that DMac was having a Deron Williams-type epiphany about how to play the game and compete at a high level every time out is again in question.

Sigh.

Enjoy the NIT, boys. You deserve it. (I’m looking at you, Mike Davis.)

Writing about the Cardinals and other loosely associated topics since 2008, I've grown tired of the April run-out only to disappoint Cardinal fans everywhere by mid-May. I do not believe in surrendering free outs.
