CHAMPAIGN — Braylon Walker’s face lit up with a smile when he walked onto Lou Henson Court. That in itself isn’t a surprise. Ask anyone. He’s just a naturally happy kid.
But you could tell State Farm Center is a place he enjoys. That was particularly true this Wednesday considering members of the Illinois men’s basketball team were still around getting some extra shots up that afternoon following the team shootaround ahead of that night’s game against Wisconsin.
Braylon had a wave for Aaron Jordan, as the Illini’s senior guard left the court for the locker room.
