Earlier this week, Maryland graduate linebacker Tre Watson met up with some of his former Illinois teammates in cyberspace, hoping to get the best of them.
“Yesterday I was playing Xbox with Del’Shawn Phillips and Reggie Corbin,” Watson said this week. “I was definitely not going to let those relationships fracture because I left.”
Watson will leave those "NBA2K” battles behind him Saturday — along with the three seasons he spent playing for the Fighting Illini — when he and the Terps face Illinois at Maryland Stadium in the first-ever meeting between the schools.
