Illinois-Oakland Play 7 Minutes with Women's Ball: No. 16 Illinois played the first seven minutes of its game Wednesday night with a women's basketball. College women play with a ball one inch smaller and two ounces lighter. Illinois trailed by 11 with the smaller ball, but came back to win 74-63. "I wanted to keep it," Oakland coach Greg Kampe said. "We were ahead."

That's some quality officiating.

Comforting to get affirmation that men's balls are bigger.

They're taking it much better than I did when I played with a woman's balls for seven minutes before I figured it out.

If it were women playing with a men's ball for the first 11 minutes, where I come from, that would be a dream come true.
