This weekend was the annual pilgrimage to the Big Ten Tournament where the "G6" meets up each year. It's one of the best weekends of the year and something we always look forward to. So far it's always worked out that we've gotten to see Illinois play one, but usually two games over the two days we are there.
We stayed at the Hilton downtown and enjoyed a couple fabulous meals...dinner on Friday at Harry & Izzy's and brunch on Saturday at LaPeep's. Another long-standing tradition is the saturday morning run. It's fun to get out together and push each other. We ended up on a running track at IUPUI and raced a 400m run!
This year the tournament was again held in Indy. We spotted a few celebs over the weekend including Michael Jordan (pictured in the suite) and Roger Powell Jr.
Illinois, a 5 seed, was 1-1 in the tourney beating Wisconsin 58-54 and losing to eventual champ, Ohio State in double overtime by a score of 88-81. A good showing but a bit short against Ohio State.
Illinois does not make the NCAA Tournament this year, settling for a 1 seed in the NIT.
