Boys basketball: Payback! Uni defeats St. Thomas More by 18

[UPDATED] A year after losing to crosstown rival St. Thomas More by 22 points, the red-hot Illineks downed the Sabers 63-45 tonight at Kenney Gym. The win raises the team's record to 6-0, just one victory shy of matching the best start ever by a Uni boys varsity basketball team. The Illineks can tie that mark with a road victory Saturday against Fisher.

Activism Club hopes showing of "Sicko" will spur discussion about health care

Almost 50 million Americans lack health insurance while countries such as Canada and the United Kingdom provide universal coverage for their citizens. But even the millions of Americans who do have insurance often find out their coverage is inadequate when they put in a claim.

Boys basketball: They're good, but are they the best ever?

It's been an excellent start for the Uni boys basketball team, to say the least. The Illineks won all four games of the season-opening Central Illinois Turkey Tournament — nearly doubling their opponents' point totals — and then beat Shiloh on Friday by almost 50 points. With the loss of only one starter from last year, the potential is there to have a very successful season. The only question remaining is: How good will they be? Tonight's home game against 3-3 St. Thomas More will go a long way toward answering that question.
