HALF: #illini 14, Maryland 6
Maryland hail mary fails as Miles Scott gets an interception, the #illini secondary's first since Duke. Bold prediction hits.
Ugly half, but defense performed pretty well. Offense gets the ball out of half to try and build a two-possession lead.

Could Illinois get a few players back from injury today? And how will they fit in? Also, Tomislav Ivisic is getting a workout in on the court pregame.

ANDREJ STOJAKOVIC. What a half for the Cal transfer. Driving layup to end the half with 12 points on 5-5 FG and ridiculous defense too.
