The Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh once said, “Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.” One would be compelled to think so if a certain renowned athletic competition finally honors its true collegiate roots.

For a Midwestern-based entity (Indianapolis), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) fails to provide area hoops enthusiasts with opportunities to personally experience a Final Four in the Second City—without realizing that college basketball originated on Lake Michigan’s proud shores.

Illinois State Redbirds: Down Under and UpThe Illinois State University Redbirds started their season with a 15-0 run until their first loss to Bradley.  With very few people looking at them, they have slowly become a surprise.  Do we expect them to be a threat at the end of the season, not really.  But with Illinois college basketball as a whole surprising us after a dismal 2007 - 2008 season, they deserve a look. In fact, they deserved a look last year.
