Georgetown tops Illinois, 88-80

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — It was a loss, but State Farm Center hasn’t felt like that in a while.

In a game without their best player, Illinois dropped their Gavitt Games matchup at State Farm Center on Tuesday night against Georgetown, 88-80.

Without Trent Frazier, the Illini (1-1) had to rely on newcomers Giorgi Bezhanishvili, Ayo Dosunmu, and Andres Feliz to lead the charge. The trio combined for 50 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. When the offense needed a bucket, it was one of those three to step up for the team — especially in the second half.
