Fans of the University of Illinois basketball team may have run out of faith.
The sign that some of the formerly faithful fans have their doubts about the Fighting Illini men's basketball team? It seems that when the Illini tip off tonight against Eastern Washington, the game could end a 60-game sellout streak at Assembly Hall. Coach Bruce Weber's team is coming off a 16-19 season.
Here's hoping at least they win the game.
