CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — It wasn’t pretty, but that’s what exhibition games are for. Illinois took down Illinois Wesleyan, 83-67, on Friday night at State Farm Center in its first real matchup of the season. The arena was partially full, with the Orange Krush coming through behind the benches, and even though the game against the Division III Titans does not even count on the stat sheet, there is still a lot to unpack.
As a sophomore at Northwest Florida State, Feliz averaged 20 points per game, six rebounds, and six assists, all while shooting over 60 percent from the floor (yes, you read that right) and over 40 percent from behind the arc.
