CHAMPAIGN, ILL. - Apparently Northwestern’s kryptonite wears orange.
After already being upset just a few weeks ago, the Northwestern Wildcats (20-8, 9-6 B1G) played a terrible second half once again against the Illinois Fighting Illini (16-12, 6-9) and were defeated 66-50 Tuesday night at the State Farm Center.
Malcolm Hill led the way for Illinois with 18 points and 5 rebounds, while Leron Black was solid as well, with 11 points and 8 rebounds. Just like in the first game, Maverick Morgan was huge down low, racking up 9 points and 10 rebounds.
