If Illinois beats Maryland today, they'll be T-3rd with approximately 20 other teams in the Big Ten standings.

Really good start for Illinois, even though they're only up four. Locked in on defense and getting good looks on offense.

11-7; 11:42 1H
Such an interestingly small lineup with Kipper at the 4 and Finke at the 5. Not sure how much we'll see of that this year but next year...

Back and forth with some sloppy play from each team (air balls, off-line passes). #Illini 21-16, 5:34 left in first half. #dechr

Under-5: Terps are slipping, down 27-16. Trimble is in a slump and nobody's picked up the slack.

Defensively, very different game than at MD a couple weeks ago. #Illini have forced 7 TOs & holding Terps to 36% FG

HALFTIME
— The Champaign Room (@Champaign_Room) January 14, 2017
New Illinois - 32
Maryland - 27
Illinois made 2 layups and 11 jumpers. UMD made 7 layups and 4 jumpers. So, don't be surprised if you see a very different 2nd half.

Felt like momentum was shifting. Really nice pass by Te'Jon to Finke for the finish. Travel at the other end. #Illini up 4 with ball.

Great feed from Lucas to Finke to go up 4

Maryland has figured things out, and they only trail 43-42 with 12:27 remaining.

This has been a really sloppy stretch of basketball for Illinois. Both ends. Tate in because Abrams has been awful. #dechr

So, so hard to watch. So painful to crumble at home. Somebody do something.

The Farm is restless. #Illini can't score and can't get stops.

19-4 Maryland run to take a 50-43 lead
Since they led 27-16, Maryland has outscored Illinois 37-16 in 17 minutes of play.

Maryland's length has prevented Illinois from getting anything at the rim all game, and it's finally showing. Jumpers aren't falling now.
— The Champaign Room (@Champaign_Room) January 15, 2017
I mean, just imagine going 5+ minutes (8 min this time) without a point in basketball.

Illinois does this *multiple times* every game!
