Player of the game
Illinois guard Andres Feliz
Don’t see this as a slight to Tevian Jones. The freshman guard was terrific for the Illini, but Feliz impacted the game in multiple ways and was the engine that drove Illinois’ upset. Feliz aggressively attacked the basket and played lockdown defense as part of his 15 points, six rebounds, three steals and two assists.
Backcourt
Illinois: A+
Maryland: C
Ayo Dosunmu was held to single digits Wednesday against Wisconsin — a first since before Christmas. His answer? Fourteen first-half points and, ultimately, his sixth 20-point game of the season.
