NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS +6.5 over Illinois Illini------The names on Northwestern are just so much better.  So I'll give them another chance to win for me at home.(Lose 81-56............https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=401263429 (That was on full display during a historic second half. Illinois (9-3, 5-1 Big Ten) outscored Northwestern 53-13 after it trailed by 15 at the break....

The Illini are the only Division I team in the last 25 seasons to trail by at least 15 points at halftime and come back to win by 20 or more.)

   Unprecedented collapse by Northwestern.  Whoever did this, well,  Boo Buie 0-6 FG..........Chase Audige 1-7 FG...........Ryan Young did ok.  But it is a serious thing when I lose with this,  whose names represent me so obviously........

East End Avenue, according to police and school officials..........."He proceeded to walk into the building and I think she told him he had to leave the building and then he shot her. So then she began to run and he shot her again," said a neighbor who didn't want to be identified.

A 77-year-old woman who was inside the building retrieving mail was also shot, CPD said.........About an hour later, Chicago police said Nightengale entered a retail establishment in the 9300 block of South Halsted Street. He announced a robbery before firing shots, striking a 20-year-old man in the head. The victim was transported to Christ Hospital where he later died. An 81-year-old victim inside the business was also shot in the back and the neck. She was transported to the same hospital in critical condition, CPD said........

Evanston Police said they responded to a call about a man with a gun at an Evanston CVS store near Asbury and Howard around 5:40 p.m. When they arrived, the suspect ran across the street to an IHOP, where he shot a woman he allegedly took hostage, according to Evanston Police Chief Demitrous Cook.........

"As I was parked over here by IHOP, there was a body over here shot up on the ground. Female probably like in her mid-40's, bleeding out," said witness Israel Lopez.

Nightengale then led police on a chase eastbound on Howard, where they exchanged gunfire near a Dollar General parking lot and Nightengale was fatally wounded by Evanston police, officials said.)

           "Evanston" is, of course,  where Northwestern actually is.  And there's plenty of guns in Chicago willing to go up there and shoot that team straight.)
