I can’t find a recap, but the box score is attached above!
As a fun activity, here’s what the first two sentences of the recap would have been.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The Chicago Bears defense was definitely not in Assembly Hall on Saturday.

Ken Norman paced the Fighting Illini with 24 points as Illinois held off Houston 102-92 in a high-scoring affair.

Hope y’all enjoyed that — ILL!
