Illini Stop Iowa on Senior Night
February 26, 2006 11:07 PM
On Dee Brown's and James Augustine's night, Rich McBride (15 pts) and Brian Randle (13 pts) led Illinois to victory against Iowa Saturday night, 71-59. Greg Brunner was a one-man show for Iowa, accounting for 46% of the Hawkeyes points (27), plus 7 rebounds. In their last game at the Assembly Hall, seniors Brown and Augustine were honored in a ceremony with their families before tipoff, and gave brief speeches to the crowd after the game. With the win, the splendid duo become the winningest players in Illinois history (111 victories). Official recap here. Next up, 2 more Senior Nights: @Minnesota Tuesday and @MSU Saturday.
In honor of Senior Night and final home game of the season, 71 pictures below (broadband recommended)-
The scene outside the Assembly Hall at the Orange Krush lineup before the doors opened.
Big Hit Buda had the video shoot for their Illini rap song with the Krush. Pictures of the video shoot are here.
To celebrate Senior Day, everyone in attendance was given an orange headband.
All pictured shots were good. The pictures taken from the floor are courtesy of fryeimages; the rest were taken by me from the best seat I've had all season: B4 row 5.
