IU - Illinois Post Game

What an outstanding game. Thanks to DK for the tix and the hospitality. The Hall was Rockin!

It was a very physical game and IU was badly outsized, but this team fought and fought and the play Sampson called to clear out the left side for the Bassett drive to the hoop late was vital. What an awesome 7-0 run to close out the game.

The students were outstanding once they got there. The blue oxford shirts and red ties really stood out, the rattles were great and the "Got Gordon" shirts were awesome.

The timing of the "Eric Gordon" chant immediately as Whiner got T'd up was priceless. Note to students... the "Stand Up Old People" chant is worthless. Illinois was 3-8 from the FT Line shooting into the "sitting old people" and 11-12 shooting into the "standing up late arrivals".

And Weber showed his true colors when he stormed off the court after the game without shaking the hands of the IU players. At least he shook Sampson's hand. It was nice to see Sampson shake hands with each and every Illini coach, player and manager.

If you are too cheap to buy your own blue oxford and red tie, here is an alternative... Shirt and Tie T-Shirt - TIS.com

Beat Purdue!
