Illini beat Indiana

The Fighting Illini decided to make things interesting against Indiana on Saturday. The Illini were up by 4 with less than a minute to go, but 2 free throws by Verdell Jones III of Indiana pulled them back to 2 points. Demitri McCamey lost the handle on the ball the next possesion, Indiana's Jeremiah Rivers went to the line and calmly sunk 2 free throws, and I was thinking, well this is just great we went into Indiana's place and won but now they're going to win at our place. But McCamey had something to say about that. McCamey's late game heroics saved the day. After Bruce Weber took a timeout with 4.4 seconds left, McCamey inbounded the ball to Bill Cole, took a hand-off from Cole, and drove to the basket and hit a floater to just beat the buzzer. Once the ball was in the Assembly Hall erupted. The Illini were decked out in pink for the game in honor to support Breast Cancer Awareness. There jersey's had pink trim and they wore pink shoes for the game. Beanie was in the building for the game.
