Impressions Of Illinois-Gonzaga

Gonzaga did not have John Stockton on the floor when they beat the Illini last Saturday at the United Center, but they might as well have. The Bulldogs consistently got to the hoop for easy layups and dunks en route to a monster early lead, and then during a dagger comeback in the final minutes of overtime.

Final score: Gonzaga 85, Illini 83.

I still don't regret going to the game. My Chicago-based advisors picked up some choice tickets in the 200 section at the United Center, seats that afforded us excellent views of the on-court action, as well as easy access to $6 dollar Bud Light drafts. Former Illini great Lucas Johnson sat a few rows ahead of us with a gorgeous blonde, proving once again that if you like gorgeous blondes, you should attend the University of Illinois.
