The Illinois Fighting Illini welcome the ranked Ohio State Buckeyes to the United Center on Wednesday night at 6 p.m., an official home game for the Orange & Blue. Illinois is 37-15 all time at the home of the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks, which includes two Big Ten Tournament title-winning runs in 2003 and ‘05.
Let’s take a trip down memory lane at the UC. Just like life itself, we’ve had our share of elation and heartbreak; of celebratory wins and mortifying losses. As the snow falls, as the Christmas and Hanukkah tunes blare throughout our coffee shops, homes and hearths — we remember the bad and the good because that is life.
