Well this should probly be in the Chicago bracket, but anyway...
At this exact moment campus is calm because somewhere around 90% of people are home/around the world for spring break.
However, this season has been nuts in general, and the atmosphere Thursday was awesome even though the game wasn't very great. Illini Nation, as a whole, is excited as hell right now. There will still be a strong showing tomorrow in Indy for the Nevada game, including myself.
It's really a cool phenomenon to be part of...having the #1 team at your school. Though there are tons of bandwagon fans, and i don't respect them, they still help make the atmosphere cool because everyone down here is talking bball, wearing orange, and celebrating wins. Campus will be dead for the Chicago games, if we win tomorrow, but if we somehow make it to the final four, i don't even know what to expect down here. I just hope people don't riot like fools, win or lose. That s*** i can't stand. It won't be the hardcore fans doing it either.
