Illinois survives scare from IUPUI 85-77
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Malcolm Hill made sure Illinois didn’t repeat past mistakes in the final minutes of the team’s 85-77 win over IUPUI on Tuesday night.
When the Jaguars’ Darell Combs banked in a 3-point shot with 2:24 left in the game, Hill had a flashback to Illinois’ 84-80 loss to Winthrop. Hill took charge and scored 32 points — 23 in the second half — to help the Illini hold off the Jaguars.
