Former Illinois guard Terrence Shannon Jr. has found a way to make the best of the mishap that took place Saturday during a jersey retirement ceremony at his alma mater. Shannon's No. 0 jersey was upside down when it was raised to the State Farm Center rafters during a ceremony at halftime of a 79-65 loss to Michigan State on Saturday. Illinois officials apologized for the mistake. Shannon is selling a T-shirt making light of the incident and says proceeds will benefit the Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club. Shannon is now a rookie with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
