PLAYER OF THE GAME
Illinois guard Andres Feliz
The junior-college transfer had quite the (unofficial) Illini debut. Feliz scored a game-high 20 points in just 25 minutes — on 8 of 12 shooting — and also pulled down five rebounds in a balanced effort on the glass.
BACKCOURT
Illinois: B

Feliz wasn't the only Illinois guard to make a difference in the Ilini's win against the Titans. Trent Frazier joined him in double figures with 19 points, Aaron Jordan led the Illini with seven rebounds and Da'Monte Williams took multiple charges.
