Illinois beat Rutgers by 31 points in the teams' first meeting this season. At one juncture, Illini freshman guard Trent Frazier hit five consecutive three-pointers. He finished with 17 points — one of five Illinois players in double figures with Kipper Nichols' 19 points leading the way.
That was the second of what turned out to be three Big Ten wins for Illinois (13-17, 3-14 Big Ten) heading into today's regular season finale and rematch with Rutgers (also 13-17, 3-14).
