Through some business associates I get the tickets for the Illinois Wisconsin basketball game every year here in Madison. This is a photo taken from the seats - that is the Illini before the game getting ready to run back into the locker room after warming up. Yes, I am there really early, but I like watching warmups, what can I say. This is about 40 minutes from tip off.
The Illini let the Badgers get out in front by a dozen early, but kept their cool in the hostile environment of the Kohl Center. They ended up winning by 7 in a very well played game. Below is after the game, with the heroes, Tisdale, McCamey and coach Weber getting interviewed by the BTN.
Vegas had us at a 8.5 point underdog, and we are only the second unranked team since 2000 to beat the Badgers at home. This win vaulted us into first place in the Big Ten and likely punched our ticket to the Big Dance in March. Here is the celebration after the game.I didn't want to take too long of a video as the Badger fans were disappointed enough. Didn't want to seem to be rubbing it in.

Looks like a lot of empty seats in the video.
Everyone started clearing out pretty quickly with about a minute left in the game. It was officially a sellout but due to the weather I would guess that there were about 2k no shows.
damn I wish I was there
Yep, you missed out on this one.
