Illinois basketball shafted in Tourney; NCAA changes rule yesterday
Partially due to a blown call, Illinois basketball has beaten a higher seeded NCAA Tournament team just twice in school history.

Did Illinois get robbed by referees at end of loss to Miami?

Shane Larkin hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with a minute left and Miami gained possession on a ball knocked out of bounds that probably should have gone to Illinois, helping the Hurricanes hold on for a 63-59 victory Sunday night to advance to the NCAA round of 16.
