Late 3-pointers lift Illinois over Colorado
AUSTIN, Texas – Illinois has been doing it the hard way all season. Why change just because it’s the NCAA tournament?
After letting a big first-half lead slip away Friday, senior guards Brandon Paul and D.J. Richardson bailed out the Illini with consecutive 3-pointers with 6 minutes to play, and No. 7 seed Illinois pulled out a tough 57-49 win over No. 10 seed Colorado in the second round of East Regional of the NCAA tournament.
“It’s March Madness,” Paul said. “That stuff happens all the time.”
