Luther Head
In case you were completely enthralled yesterday with this (I feel really bad for Butch...hate for a player and team to have their postseason chances hurt by a nasty injury....hmmmm that sounds familiar) or this (is Carhartt the ultimate NASCAR sponsor or what?) perhaps you missed the Rockets-Magic game.
I wouldn't blame you if you did...I've soured on the NBA over the past few years as well. But whenever former Illini are on, I can't help but watch to see how they're doing.
Luther had a great game: 15 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal.
Check out the love he gets on Jonathan Feigen's Houston Chronicle blog here. Also, here is a nice little interview hoopsworld.com did with Luther after the Rookie/Sophomore game during All-Star weekend.

Is the Microwave Back?
Jamar Smith may have finally found his stroke last night as the Illini rolled over Minnesota in a game that Tupper says wasn't as close as the final score indicated.
Tupper also says Jamar may have been so distracted by his stomach problems that he may have started to break out of his shooting slump. An encouraging call from Luther Head probably didn't hurt either.
Btw, I know XLI is today but I couldn't find anything on the Pantagraph's sports page about the game last night. Isn't Bloomington 45 minutes or so from Champaign?
