The Curse of Chief Illiniwek Begins

http://www.foulballs.net/2007/03/basketball-diaries-ncaa-edition-and-so.html

The Illini blew their chance to wrap up a first-round bye in this week's conference showdown, losing to Iowa 60-53. Maybe they got thrown off their game when Iowa fans kept chanting "I-L-L-D-U-I" everytime an Illinois player went to the free throw line.
