It was nice to see the Illini with a victory for a change, even though it was against Northwestern. Some nice information from the Chicago Tribune:
Excellent Shooting
The Illini, whose lead peaked at 34 points twice, shot 54.2 percent, not an overwhelming figure but good for a team that has struggled with its shooting. It was Illinois' best shooting percentage since hitting 57.4 percent in a blowout win over Arizona State at the Maui Invitational.
Most Valuable Team Doctor
"Brian Randle showed some senior leadership," Weber said. "Our team doctor should get the game ball. [A coughing Randle] loaded up with anything in his cabinet but focused on what he could do and that was to stop Coble."
Rodney Can Jump
Illini junior forward Rodney Alexander, whose 21-point effort in Tuesday's loss at Ohio State earned him a starting job, had eight points in 13 minutes, six coming on acrobatic dunks off lobs. He had six points in a 12-0 first-half run that gave Illinois a 24-5 lead and control of the game.
