CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – K.J. Riley, Marty Hill and Shea Feeahn each recorded double figures as the University of Evansville men's basketball team fell by a final of 99-60 in the season opener against the University of Illinois inside the State Farm Center.
"I thought our guys put up a good fight and played better in the second half. Illinois was very physical and did not allow us to get into anything," UE head coach Walter McCarty said. "You cannot win when you have 25 turnovers and nine assists. I thought we did some stuff better in the second half that will help us moving forward.
