My senior year at UIUC. Watched game at my boss' house because he had a nice big color TV (worked my way through school). Never imagined after that game the season would go straight into the tank.While we are waiting, here is the clip of Eddie Johnson taking it to Michigan State and Magic Johnson on this day in 1979. I was 7 and at the game with my dad up in the second row of C section, almost mid-court. Enjoy
Then never thought we'd suffer through the Groce years either, that was even worse except for his first season.
Real glad we now have a team we can really be proud of win or lose and a coach who can recruit and actually knows a little coaching.
