Illinois falls to the Indiana Hoosiers 51-49 during an ugly loss that creates some serious doubts about Illini's NCAA tournament chances (are we really reliving this song and dance again?).
Senior guard Demetri McCamey was a non-factor for the second consecutive game, and the Illini were unable to get any real offense going.
After coming from behind to take a 32-30 lead at the half, Illinois went more than five minutes without a basket in the second half and only scored 17 points in the final 20 minutes as the Hoosiers pulled off their first win against a top-25 team since Tom Crean became the head coach.
Illinois was left to lick its wounds as another unranked road team stormed the court following the upset (see Penn State).
All of Illinois' guards struggled in tonight's game, and the team was only kept in the game thanks to some very strong rebounding from the post players.
Much more on this tomorrow and what it means for these players as March approaches.
