Report card time for a future University of Illinois Student

Mason received his second quarter report card on Friday 2/8. It is difficult to see but he received straight A's for a GPA of 4.0. Monica and I are both very proud of our future U of I student.

Mason's first trip to the Assembly Hall

I took Mason to his first Illinois Basketball game at the Assembly Hall on Saturday February 2nd against Purdue.

Both teams warm up before the game.

Mason is all smiles and ready for a great game hopefully ending with an Illini Victory.

Mason isn't the only person taking in his first Illinois game at the Assembly Hall. Sitting much closer to the court in the corner is Michael Jordan.

Illinois played pretty well and actually shot over 80% from the free throw line which is quite out of the ordinary. Unfortunately Illinois was not able to overcome turnovers and lost the game.

Mason still had a good time despite the Illinois loss. Hopefully Illinois will pull out the victory next time.
