Illinois basketball tipped off their national title run on Friday, and they came out looking like they were on a mission.
After a slightly slow start to the game, the Illini took it to Drexel. Wave after wave of great guard play and Kofi Cockburn happened. One thing led to another and the Dragons were down by 18 points at halftime.
