CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Have yourself a night, Coleman.
The Illini big man had a career night as he recorded his first ever triple-double in the blowout 73-44 win over Syracuse.
“Not that I know of,” said Hawkins when asked if he’s ever had a triple-double in his overall playing career.
So the junior forward absolutely treasured what happened Tuesday night.
“It was a great moment,” Hawkins said.
Finishing with 15 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists — Hawkins was a huge reason the Illini were able to win their final game they’ll play in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
