Newly married, Feliz has different perspective heading into offseason

CHAMPAIGN — This story has some real "Love & Basketball" vibes to it. Just less drama. Plus a surprise wedding, albeit not decided by a game of one-on-one.

Illinois men's basketball guard Andres Feliz and his now wife Lisa Jo (Wygal) Feliz took the next step of their 18-month relationship Wednesday with a simple marriage ceremony at the Champaign County court house. Here's the catch — nobody knew ahead of time.

"Literally nobody," Lisa Jo said. "It was something just for us. We've been living together for two years never missing a day apart."

Of course, Andres, who proposed after Lisa Jo's birthday in February, did drop some hints.
