Thorne, Hill not enough as Ospreys hit 17 three-pointers, hand Illinois first November loss in Groce era
Well. There's no easy way to put this, but it was a tough night to be a Fighting Illini Basketball fan. Illinois allowed North Florida to lead by as many as 23 in a game that was dominated by the visiting Ospreys from tip to finish; Illinois did not lead for one second of the contest. The Ospreys were hot from downtown as they connected on 17 of 33 three point field goal attempts while Illinois managed a mere 5 of 16.
