[QUOTE="chiefini, post: 2048799, member: 11271"] As I’ve written here before, our seats were seven rows behind the AZ bench, two people away from Marcus Liberty. When we went down 15, as cocky jerk Lute Olson walked back and forth with his pop cup as he had for most of the game, I sat with my face in my hands. As the comeback started, I couldn’t watch and stayed sitting until one minute was left. As I stood, I saw Lute had put his cup down and was screaming at his players. It was SO loud, I couldn’t hear my husband next to me. Then I was screaming, too. People sometimes forget that AZ had two chances to win it on last shots, one during regular, and one at the end of the overtime, but the Illini defense helped cause close misses both times. The stress and anxiety was unbelievable. With the roar of victory, we high-fived Marcus when we won. At the end, as the AZ fans left dejectedly, we got to move closer to the court. In the pic, I am the one in orange right under the spotlight with my arms raised touching the spot…I’m ready tonight to continue the repeat of this scenario. Are you with me? :illinois:-L-L [/QUOTE]
