Illinois started to pull away from the Aggies in the middle of the first half, and they continued to add to their lead throughout the rest of the game. The Illini had a great team effort as 10 out of the 12 players who received minutes scored at least one basket, and the team totaled 18 assists and 7 steals.
Even though the win was a team effort, the MVP of the game goes to Kofi Cockburn.
Kofi finished the game with 26 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 blocks. He shot 68-percent from the field and went 4-of-7 from the free throw line.
