CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — Illinois Basketball icon Dee Brown recently caught up with WCIA 3’s Peter Hanson, sharing insights on the intense “Braggin’ Rights” rivalry against the Missouri Tigers.

“Losing that game is not an option,” Brown emphasized. “I always remind people of the advice I received when I first joined: ‘Dee, this is a game you just can’t afford to lose.’ It carries a unique weight.”
