Happy Sunday, Illini Nation!
This week’s on-court showing for Brad Underwood’s squad in two road games — both losses in State College and Bloomington — leaves me wanting to go back into my dark basement, and wait three more weeks to see if my shadow scares back into the bunker before Selection Sunday.
It feels like it is happening again. Illinois plays well enough to win, despite being short-handed, and snatches defeat from the jaws of victory in another close road loss.
In fact, it did happen again. This time to No. 14 Indiana.
