In case you've somehow forgotten, then-top recruit Cliff Alexander shunned Illinois in favor of Kansas in the Fall of 2013. Whether or not that was the right decision for him at the time (it was the right decision) is still up for debate, but what's certain is that Illinois fans still harbor plenty of negative feelings for the Chicago native.
Back in November, Illini fans took to Twitter to air their feelings after Alexander's poor performance against Kentucky on national television. Well, Cliff went undrafted on Thursday night which, of course, led to more of the same.
