"There was a great college basketball game played Thursday night
between the University of Illinois and Indiana University, but the
game has been somewhat diminished by inappropriate behavior by a
number of fans in attendance. We value the enthusiastic support of
the sellout crowds at the Assembly Hall, but above all we take very
seriously the reputation of our basketball program and the
University of Illinois. The profanity and behavior by a small
segment of fans Thursday night is disappointing and intolerable, and
for that we apologize to fans of both teams."
