Great time in Peoria last night as two Illinois teams competed in the first game of the NIT Tournament at the Carver Arena to a full house of fans.
Solid win for the Bradley Braves (of the Missouri Valley Conference) over Loyola with Loyola coming on strong in the second half making for an exciting game to watch.
Braves take on Cincinnati next.

Glad to see Bradley send Loyola packing yesterday. Sister Jean must really love basketball. 104 years old and in a wheelchair traveling over 3 hours from downtown Chicago for an NIT game.
Hope the Illini can at least get to the 2nd weekend this year. After that it’s all gravy. They’ve got a decent path to the Sweet 16. Will be tough after that. But it always is. No weaklings on the schedule now.
It sounds like ComEd is still have some internal issues with their billing system upgrade. I got an email early this morning basically telling me that my hourly pricing comparison is temporarily delayed but they assured me that they will eventually provide that information.
I also saw a post on the Chicago sub-reddit recently that suggests some non-hourly pricing customers are receiving alerts to reduce usage. Those messages should only go to hourly pricing customers so I am guessing this is also related to their billing system update.
Should we include this as an entry in “Meanwhile in Opposite Land?”
California passed a referendum to spend more money for housing the homeless.
From the NPR story “Counties will now be required to spend about two-thirds of the money from a voter-approved tax enacted in 2004 on millionaires for mental health services on housing and programs for homeless people with serious mental illnesses or substance abuse problems.”
