 Maryland beats Illinois: A Somewhat Statement
Before the game, a friend asked me if I thought Maryland was going to win tonight. I politely said that games aren't always about winning and losing and that I was going to support the team I wanted to win. "Illinois is gonna win," he said. Well I'm glad I stuck to my guns (kind of) because the Terps came out with the win, 69-61. [link]
