If you can’t deal with being stressed and constantly nervous, then this team isn’t for you. Another game went by where the Illini had a pretty good size lead of 15 points. However, they couldn’t run away with the game again.
This was a very pesky Grand Canyon team that just didn’t want to go away. Props to the Lopes for staying in this game until the very end. Their biggest problem was stopping the big man. Kofi Cockburn had another dominant game. The big man dropped with 25 points to go along with 14 rebounds.
