Holy crap that is just terrible. Best wishes to the families involved and to all connected to Illinois State University.

I believe Dean Oliver (not involved in the crash) is on the Illinois State staff. Thoughts and prayers to those affected by this tragedy.

When the local news broadcasted it and said the flight originated from Indy I knew it was someone associated with the final 4. Personally my first reaction was it one of the game officials, assistant coaches from a school, and finally a family member associated with one of the teams.

Thoughts and prayers with all involved. Not easy, as I guess it was very dense fog in that area this morning.
