Fighting ILLINI lost battle

I don't know how many of you follow College Basketball or Professional Basketball. I usually don't either. However, this year was a little different 'cause one of my Alma Maters, University of Illinois @ Urbana-Champaign, got to the finals for the first time in history!! They were the #1 seat for the whole year and lost only 2 games during the whole season. Unfortunately, the second game they lost was the championship. Lost to the University of North Carolina by 5 ponts!!!! :0( *very sad*

Anyway, they are a great team and did a great job!! Go Illini!!!

PS. The first picture is the Alma Mater sculpture that "welcomes" everyone @ the university.

PPS. The second picture is how I feel right now; one of my t-shirts is red, the second is orange!!
