88 Illini: #64-#61

I just went through the folder of the photos Holly took at the Purdue game. I don't use those photos as much as the other games because when people see photos of the Purdue game they have this unavoidable "we almost lost to Purdue!" reaction and I'm not trying to have the "yes, and national champion Ohio State came within a whisker of losing to Nebraska at home" conversation again.

But going through this folder, I just can't get over the crowd in the background. I forget how full it was last year. I mean, just look at that photo up there. A sea of orange and blue behind the Illinettes for a game against Purdue.
