Decent start for the #ILLINI
— Illini Basketball (@IlliniMBB) December 24, 2017
10-0 run to lead 10-2. 5 points by Mark Smith. pic.twitter.com/YRaAiYHfDo
There's another across-the-river talent here.
— Jeremy Werner (@JWerner247) December 24, 2017
Mark Smith with 8. #illini lead 28-16.
I'm liking how my illini is playing D. Coach Underwood is doing a good job with this year's team, it's a process.

Finke draws a charge and the #Illini side goes bonkers.
— Illini Basketball (@IlliniMBB) December 24, 2017
D has been smothering. Mizzou with 14 turnovers & ILL with 14 points off.

That swagger from Frazier. He wants that ball at the end of the buzzer, no doubt. Hits back-to-back threes to give the #Illini the 42-22 lead at the half.

Frazier has moxie for days. pic.twitter.com/2NTWFrRclA

That was the best first half Illini have played all season #BragginRights
— Nico Haeflinger (@NicoFOXIL) December 24, 2017
HALF: #Illini 42, #Mizzou 22
— Jeremy Werner (@JWerner247) December 24, 2017
Trent Frazier just did Tilmon like that. pic.twitter.com/y06EFE3sUg
Mizzou not going away. Just 2 FT for the #Illini this half.

Michael Finke gets a shot to fall at the shot clock buzzer. Notable because it was Illinois' first made FG in 2nd half and it came after nearly 8 minutes without a make. #Illini

Barnett hits three FTs to make this a single-digit game for Mizzou. #Illini leading 52-43 with 11:26 to go
— Erich Fisher (@ETFisher24) December 24, 2017
Great play design out of the timeout to take advantage of the Missouri switches but Lucas makes a terrible pass and turns it over. Ugh.
— Brad Sturdy (@Sturdy32) December 24, 2017
Two shot clock violations tonight for #Illini. Not ideal.
— Scott Richey (@srrichey) December 24, 2017
Trent Frazier continues to be big.

I’m not having as much fun this half
— ILL BARSTOOL: OF 4 STRAIGHT #BRAGGINRIGHTS W’s (@BarstoolILL) December 24, 2017
#Mizzou's last 10 points are at the FT line
— Jeremy Werner (@JWerner247) December 24, 2017
When you can't get shots to fall, apparently it's time to let Leron Black shoot 3s. #Illini up 60-50.
— Scott Richey (@srrichey) December 24, 2017
Black is the new Orange #Illini #BragginRights
— Ryan Baker (@RyanBakerMedia) December 24, 2017
Mizzou 4-23 from three
— Jeremy Werner (@JWerner247) December 24, 2017
HUGE buckets by Black & Smith!

Finke going to FT line after TO.

FINISH THEM. pic.twitter.com/h2AwKf7ulR
Frazier is BIG TIME. And-One for him, 66-56 #illini, 2:07 to go
— Erich Fisher (@ETFisher24) December 24, 2017
Take Te’Jon off the court in crunch time. This should be known by now.
— Ian Gold (@iansgold) December 24, 2017
THAT SHOULD DO IT. FIVE-STRAIGHT.
