The last time Illinois played their satellite sister, they lost. It was humiliating and a near-devastating blow to a promising team.
Now, at least in the minds of some, we are again a promising team. And again, we're playing UIC at the United Center. No horseplay this time, unless that horse is kicking somebody in the mouth.
Crush them. Crush them mercilessly. Force them to cancel all future contests with the Illinois monster because that monster is just too scary.
