The Fighting Illini remained undefeated on Tuesday night with a 122-65 victory over McKendree (D-II), and they did so with a record offensive performance. Illinois made 16 three-point shots, which tied a program record that was originally set against Arizona on March 26, 2005.
Led by Jalen Coleman-Lands (18 points) and Maverick Morgan (18 points), six members of the Orange and Blue reached double-figures during the blowout. Michael Finke (17 points), Tracy Abrams (14 points), Aaron Jordan (11 points), and Mike Thorne Jr. (10 points) were the others.
Tuesday night also featured our first extended look at Te’Jon Lucas, and it was well worth the wait.
