I’m a lifelong @Cubs fan and I have Asperger’s. I had a lot of trouble making friends growing up, but tonight, at the best intersection in the world, one of my closest and truest friends @andrewwalters0 asked me to join him on his big day. #ISaidYes #EverybodyIn 🤵👰💍

AND….. The #Illini also did not have any bad losses this year. All 7 losses have been to tourney teams.

If this is what the visiting team is doing tonight, I wonder what tomorrow will bring. I will be there to find out. 🥺❤️ #Blackhawks
Thoughtful gesture by the Dallas Stars organization to honor Troy Murray in the visiting radio booth for @WGNRadio ❤️ #Blackhawks

This also means that the #Illini are guaranteed of finishing the season with a single-digit number of losses. They can finish with no more than 9 now. Any time you have less than 10 losses is by my definition a successful season. 🔶🔷
Illini hang on at Maryland 78-72 to finish at 24-7 and 15-5 in Big Ten play. It wasn't pretty but they tie their school record 8th Big Ten road win and will be either the 3 or 4 seed on Friday in Chicago.

And then what happened? They relaxed.
Yet, #illini match their largest lead as Keaton Wagler makes two FTs after rebounding his own miss. Wagler has all 11 of his points in the second half. Illinois 8-11 FT in second half. 59-53 with 8:40 left

Mirkovic is the reason they are still in this game
37-34 at the half Illinois leads it. David Mirkovic with 13 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists to lead Illinois. Illini still shooting poorly, just 4-16 from 3.

Like I said, Maryland has always been a house of horrors for them. This Maryland team is no good, so they better not lay down.
