TRENT FRAZIER MADE ONE OF THE GREATEST THREE-QUARTER COURT SHOT AT THE BUZZER AT HALF.
REFS REVIEWED IT, AND THEY COUNTED IT, SO THE ILLINI ENDED THE HALF UP 37-31.

Late in the first half on Monday night at the State Farm Center the Illini had their 10 point lead erased. The low ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers had the game tied at 31 apiece.
In the final minute of the half, Illini junior guard nailed a step-back three pointer to give Illinois a 34-31 advantage.
And he didn’t stop there.
With just seconds remaining in the half, Frazier fired a long attempt from behind half court, and you guessed it, HE NAILED IT.

Frazier has struggled offensively this season, but his personal six point run was enough to give the Illini a lead at half and energy back in the stadium.
In addition to his heroics, Frazier has a pair of rebounds and an assist to his name at the half.
WHAT A SHOT. #SCTOP10 #BTNSTANDOUT
