Player of the game
Illinois’ Trent Frazier
The Illini’s first-half deficit might have been a little steeper if not for the 13 straight points the freshman guard scored for his team in the latter stages of the half. He finished the game with 19 points, tied with Leron Black for the team lead.

Frazier has been one of two Illini — Black included — to carry the team offensively since early December. The shifty lefty hit double digits in points for the fifth straight game against the Hoosiers.
