Top-5 Illinois Easily Tops Nebraska 86-70
Patrick Gorski-USA TODAY Sports Thirteen days ago, the Nebraska Cornhuskers took the Illinois Fighting Illini down to the wire, botching the last possession with a chance to win it in regulation before falling in overtime. There would be no doubt in the rematch, as the 5th-ranked Illini pulled away and won in dominating fashion 86-70 on Thursday night in Champaign.
Juniors Trey McGowens and Shamiel Stevenson, along with senior Kobe Webster, were the only three Huskers to score in double figures. McGowens led with 18 points on 7-17 shooting, while Stevenson and Webster each added 12 apiece off the bench.
