Ugh. Fuck off, Patriot Front.

Here’s an excerpt from Patriot Front’s “Manifesto” posted to their website:

“When our European ancestors first came to this savage continent they had a variety of purpose. Set against the harsh life on the frontier and the common enemy in the strange, unexplored reaches of America yet to be touched by civilization, they found a common cause and a common identity as Americans. From the varied nations and cultures of Europe a new nation was forged in the flames of conquest. E Pluribus Unum was the new creed that bound our people together with their pan-European identity as Americans. To be an American is to be a descendant of conquerors, pioneers, visionaries, and explorers. This unique identity was given to us by our ancestors, and this national spirit remains firmly rooted in our blood.”

The Illini destroyed what I can only assume to be some sort of Italian semi-pro team

Here’s the box score and some highlights. Most notably, Ayo went 4-6 on 3-point shots. More of that please.

A nameless player for CUS Insubria scored 16 points, also, so that’s neat.
