CHAMPAIGN — The Leron Black who put together six double-digit scoring performances in his first seven games of the season started to make a return Wednesday against Michigan with a 10-point outing against the Wolverines.
That 10-point game snapped a streak of five straight in which the most the 6-foot-7 redshirt sophomore forward scored was six points against Ohio State. Black made it two in a row Saturday in Illinois’ 62-56 loss to Maryland at State Farm Center.
Black made his first five shots and finished a rebound shy of a double-double with 14 points and nine boards.
