This is the part of the Cade Cavalli-Willson Contreras incident that’s not getting talked about enough. Contreras clearly intentionally changes his direction to get into Cavalli’s way and brush into him. Any other person continues down the line…

"I'm thankful for the Texas Tech and the Duke series, but I wish college basketball would go back to playing home and homes."
Illinois should be pre-season top-5 this year
