Illini’s skid continues
CHAMPAIGN – Northwestern and Illinois both were looking to bounce back from bad blowouts Thursday night, games where neither team could shoot or play defense.
Only the Wildcats improved, extending No. 23 Illinois’ losing streak to three games while handing the Illini a 68-54 home loss that could cost them their Top 25 ranking.
After starting slow against Iowa and never catching up in the 70-50 whipping, Northwestern coach Bill Carmody was looking for a faster start.
