ST. LOUIS — The streak is over.
Missouri was able to outlast the Illini on Saturday night, taking down Illinois at the Enterprise Center, 79-63.
Illinois (4-8) needed this win in the worst way. With only one more game before conference play starts up, this certainly isn’t the position the team wanted to be in at this time of the year. The only Big Ten program besides Illinois ranked lower than Missouri? Rutgers, and the Scarlet Knights are only on the schedule once. The team is in danger of not reaching double-digit wins for the first time since 1975.
