Only $300 for the pair - I think I spent more for the tickets at Nebraska and Iowa this year for a single ticket

Back in the day when most B1G teams did not have a player over 6'8', 3rd row was a pretty good seat. But with the Ivisic bros and JJ in front of you, I am just hoping you can see some of the game. Enjoy. My first game was at the Assembly Hall in 1963 but it is a better facility now and still a very special venue to watch the Fighting Illini.
That '63 team was special. Downey, Small and Burwell. Won the B1G title and thus received a berth in the NCAA tournament. If I remember correctly, they were ousted by a Loyola team featuring Jerry Harkness. Loyola ended up winning the whole thing. Very fond memories indeed. I forget lots of our players from 3-4 yrs. ago, but I'm starting to think my long term memory is working. I can remember the '53 team as well.
we need to talk more about All-American guard Paul Judson and the 1953 team. It was Judson's sr. year and he averaged about 18-19 ppg. Drafted in 2nd round, #13. What I find astonishing is the fact the fabulous Elgin Baylor wasn't taken until the 14th round (#91). The NBA GMs must have had the radar turned off.

After the remodeling, IMO the SFC is the best arena for college basketball anywhere. In the first place, it's a unique architectural gem. Always has been. In the second place, the ideal seating inside is beautifully arranged for all groups in attendance. I haven't seen a better facility anywhere,
I don't know what to make of Iowa. Northwestern, on paper, we should win, but we've said that the past few years and keep losing there.

I will take credit where it's due...I was the 1st to mention this. Once it comes to fruition, I'll gladly accept a Thin Mint cookie
If not...I'll take my crow medium-rare
Like you said that before this time, or you just posted that?? Posting that on Dec 27 after this stretch Keaton has had is not exactly going out on a limb, IMO.
Cory Bradford, KJ, Kofi, and Keaton are probably the main contenders. Ayo, Giorgi are a group behind that, IMO. Kiwane and Deon are both way up there, but I didn't see them play, so I don't really know.

I forgot to mention that now Pru is back, it'll need to be a "medicated" Thin Mint cookie
Illinois 104-61
Why not, or even a larger spread? Go for it... ; )
He's now MISTER Ben Humrichous - has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
Predictions:
1) Ben goes for a 20-burger today.
2) Petro gets at least 15 mins
