City-Suburban Showdown always a good show

From the Chicago Sun Times:
“We started out slow because of some behavior issues [Richmond was suspended for fighting and missed the Bulldogs’ first three games],” Richmond said. “Throughout the course of the season every team has ups and downs. I think we’re really starting to come together.”
According to event promoter Bob Rylko, 27 players in the 13-year history of the City-Suburban Showdown have gone on to play in the NBA, a subject that is clearly on Richmond’s mind.
During the press conference, the 6-6 sophomore repeatedly referred to his “one-year” at Illinois — which is probably interesting news for Illini coach Bruce Weber.
