Illinois 70, Indiana 58

• Nice win.  The guys didn't really let up once they had the lead.  That's an important step for this team.
• If you had told me before the game that Illinois would quickly get a lead and Indiana would never get it into single digits and we would have 18 turnovers and shoot 3 of 17 from the arc, I would have said you were crazy.
• Randle's dunk over Killingsworth was the dunk of the year.  Awesome.
• Terrible officiating.  Just awful.
• What was wrong with the scoreboard?  It usually shows player stats, but it was blank for the whole game.
• And why did they do the national anthem so early?  Weird.
• Another player suspension:  Jamar didn't play today.  Weber runs a very tight ship when it comes to discipline.
• Nice to see the team on CBS.
• If Chester doesn't attempt another 3-pointer all year, I'll be okay with that.
• Next up:  One the road at Michigan.  That'll be tough.
