Illinois 63, Northwestern 47

• A win is a win.  Still, this wasn't pretty.  When the score was tied at 29, I was nervous.  On its own court, playing against Northwestern with its best player on the bench, Illinois oughta be able to win rather handily.
• A Randle drive-and-dunk is a wonderful way to start a game.
• Still, this win was very important.  After losing two in a row, it would have been unspeakably painful to lose this one.  Count it, and move on.
