PJS resorts to hokey gambling cliches to describe BU victory over Illini

November 29, 2009

From the Journal Star: BU beats odds in Vegas.

What happened in Vegas on Saturday night will not stay in Vegas for the Bradley Braves. It will be shouted from the rooftops.

Bradley engineered a stunning upset of No. 20 Illinois 72-68 in the consolation game of the Las Vegas Invitational at The Orleans Arena.

It marked Bradley’s first win over Illinois since 1974 after four consecutive losses.

Yes, the most noteworthy thing about the victory is that it happened in a place where people gamble.

Seriously, kudos to the Braves.

One day, I hope to see Eastern Illinois University defeat Illinois in … well, anything.
