RECAP

Luka Garza scored 21 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, and Jordan Bohannon scored 20 points with 5 three pointers, but could not match the Illini intensity and speed.

Illinois' Kofi Cockburn was much improved, scoring 26 points. They scored lots of high percentage shots (layups and dunks) which overcame their poor 3-point shooting (3 of 15). All but 5 shots made were near the basket.

The Hawks were down by 8-14 points most of the game and it didn't seem like they could get any runs started. But despite the struggles, the game was as close as 5 points with 2:45 remaining.
