Way, way back in 2017, a baby-faced Trent Frazier and Da’Monte Williams were minor role players in an Illinois win over Missouri.
It should be noted Frazier went OFF in that 2017 contest, making it his coming out party.
Four years later, the super seniors were leaders on an Illini team that snapped a three-game skid in the annual Braggin’ Rights showdown, as Illinois thumped Mizzou, 88-63 , at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis on Wednesday night.
It started early, as Illinois picked up where it left off over the weekend against St. Francis (PA) — when it set a program-record and made 18 triples — and made its first four attempts from behind-the-arc, including one from Frazier.
