Illinois did just enough to stop a three-game losing streak, committing 19 turnovers and allowing 21 offensive rebounds but persevering via scoring by committee.
What it means
Coach Brad Underwood learned he can trust guys like Andres Feliz and Samba Kane to log important minutes, which will be critical entering Big Ten Conference play.
What's next
A much-needed break for the 3-7 program, as the Illini don't play again until next Saturday against East Tennessee State. Time to get rested and healthy.
