Illinois finally got that elusive Big Ten win on Wednesday.
It was a tough, gutty victory, where the Illini struggled to score for stretches and did not play their best. However, they made enough plays when it really mattered and came away with the win.
Here are a few takeaways from the game.
That was pretty obvious from the get-go as Illinois relied heavily on both players for offense when the team struggled to find their rhythm. Black and Frazier are two very different players, and yet at times they are exactly the same.
They both bring tenacity on defense and a swagger shooting the ball.
