LIVE! Springfield finale

Chicago State (3-1) vs. Illinois (1-3) — 7 p.m. ESPN3

Good evening from Springfield, for the last time, as Illinois looks to bounce back from back-to-back defeats, most recently here at the Prairie Capital Convention Center on Saturday against Chattanooga.

I wasn’t at that game, butIt was a bad start and a bad ending for the Illini, who led by as many as nine in the second half before Chattanooga hit them with a barrage of three-pointers to pull the upset.

Are we sure it was really an upset? The Mocs are pretty good and so far this season, Illinois hasn’t been.
