CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Trent Frazier scored 16 points and Kipper Nichols added 14 to lead Illinois past Mississippi Valley State 86-67 on Sunday.
The Illini shot 16 of 30 from the 3-point-line, tying a school record for the most 3-pointers made in a game.
"We did some nice things today, especially from the three-point line," said Illinois coach Brad Underwood. "But I think we got a little crazy shooting them out there. We need to find a better balance by getting more shots in the paint from our big guys."
Da'Monte Williams scored 10 points and Ayo Dosunmu grabbed nine rebounds and recorded nine assists for Illinois (2-4).
