Welcome back to another LIVE! Report from State Farm Center. It's the third game back home for the Illinois men's basketball team, with results a little up-and-down after a loss to Notre Dame that maybe wasn't as close as the final score indicated and a win against Western Carolina that, well, maybe was closer than the Illini's 12-point victory showed.
Highlights from today's #Illini win. *Spoiler Alert* There's lots of @NunnBetter_ and @Finke_Michael https://t.co/sbMidLkRhQ

The game against Western Carolina would have been even closer had Kendrick Nunn and Michael Finke not both put up career highs in points — 27 and 24, respectively.
