Northwestern Silences Shrieking Spectator After Illinois Fans Complained

People who watched Sunday's college hoops game in which Northwestern hosted Illinois were treated to something special.

The close, 68-66 contest that was won by the home team turned out to be the secondary show, though. The real story of the matchup was one fan's screams that dominated the conversation for Illinois supporters who weren't accustomed to the noise.

The fan is Emily Harriott, and the Chicago Tribune has profiled her enthusiasm for the Wildcats.

But after Sunday, it was determined by the school that too many people complained about The Shrieker, and Emily had to stop with the yelling.
