March 1, 2009, a big day

in the giant mush-

room--

the ILLINI play Michi-

gan State and we say goodby to the seniors.

A "sea of orange" inside

We sit with the same group of season ticket holders at every game. Keith and Sandy sit next to us.

These two Illini fans sit in our row.

This foursome sits behind us.

Four seniors: Frazier, Mea-

cham, Brock, and Jackson

Deon Thomas returned to the Assembly Hall for the first time in 14 years to raise his jersey.

ILLINI and Mich-

igan State warm up.

Jordan makes his daddy proud----steals the ball and

makes the basket tieing the game.

Final Score: MS 74 ILLINI 66

A disappointing loss, but a very exciting game.
