Abrams nearing another 'last' in college career
» moreCHAMPAIGN — The fact just two games remain this season at State Farm Center hasn’t escaped Tracy Abrams’ notice.
Legacy and various “lasts” in a final season mean something different when you’re six years into a college basketball career.
“Man, I was just thinking about that,” Abrams said before Monday’s practice in advance of today’s game against Northwestern. The Illini’s home finale is March 1 against Michigan State.
“I was committed here since I was a sophomore in high school, and I’ve been here six years already,” Abrams continued. “That’s (darn) near almost 10 years in my eyes.”
