Buckeyes Claim 15th Straight Win with 69-60 Victory at Illinois
By John Porentas
You have to give the Illini one thing, at least they were original.
Following the spate of "whiteouts" that has swept stadia and arenas across the nation and have now become borderline trite, the movers and shakers in Champaign-Urbana came up with something original. It was "Paper the Hall" day at Assembly Hall for the Illinois (16-8, 6-6 Big Ten) vs. No. 4
OSU (23-1, 12-0) basketball game. The University partnered with the local newspaper,
The Champaign News-Gazette, in a promotion in which just short of 10,000 tickets were given away in the hopes of creating a home-floor advantage for the Illini.
