In the biggest game in about 16 years, the Illinois basketball team came up short to the Baylor Bears.
The final score shows Baylor winning by 13 points, but this game was much closer than that. A one-point lead at the half by the Bears would eventually increase in the waning moments as Illinois just couldn’t hit a basket.
