CBB is back!

It's video time again, since Ellen has neglected the blog, you get another video from me.

We are college basketball fans. I am a huge fan. Ellen enjoys it and likely humors me a bit too. Many of you will likely remember this game if you follow CBB and/or the Fighting Illini. You might also remember the cast of characters from that season: Dee Brown, Deron Williams, Luther Head, Roger Powell, James Augustine and more. That year, IL lost one regular season game and lost their second game in the NCAA championship to UNC.

Ellen and I were able to attend the IL-G'town game here in DC which occurred right around the time the Illini become the #1 team. That was a great win for the Illini and most of the stadium was wearing orange. Even though it was in DC, it was pretty much a home game for IL.

While the season fell one game short of the goal of a NCAA championship, in the tourney that year, they played one of the more exciting games I've seen. This video gives a nice summary, including a 3-point shot from Dee Brown at around the 30 sec mark that had no business even making the rim, let alone going in that night. That was part of a comeback against Arizona that was unlikely, to say the least.

So enjoy. I look forward to another great season of College Basketball. Next IL game: Sunday, December 13, 2:30 ET (1:30 CT).
