It’s been a while.
Sorry, had a deadline I was working on. Back now.
The Illini play Wisconsin tonight
They’re 3-0 against the spread since I wrote this. You’re welcome, Illini nation. February has actually been fun for once.
Losers of 14 straight against Wisconsin, this will be a test to see if Giorgi can handle Ethan Happ, one of the best (if not the best) post-men in the country.

Tip-off: 7 pm
TV: FS1
