How nasty was it after Illinois’ men’s basketball team’s 95-74 loss at Wisconsin earlier this week, a game that snapped the Illini’s nine-game winning streak in the border rivalry?
So nasty, the Illini wouldn’t line up and shake the Badgers’ hands.
But not because of ill will; rather, it was about plain old illness. A virus walloping players and involving — how to put it? — stuff coming out of both ends. You get the picture.
