Illinois rued many late moments in another close OT loss, but the #Illini lost the game because they thought they had won in the first half.
"We lost our edge."
#illini better learn from it that you can't let off the gas in March. My column from LA ‡οΈ
A reminder, heading to LAX to catch a red-eye, so we'll pod on Sunday. Probably better for a little rewatch of that one too.

Massive Ben Humrichous block. Little and big things from the glue guy tonight.
#ilini call a timeout with a 92-91 lead with 59.5 seconds left in OT.
Not the shot Illini wanted from Keaton Wagler with the chance to take the lead. But was that the right call by the ref there?

#illini started the game 11-for-20 from three.
They're since 2-for-20 from three.
But living off second-chance points (25) and FTs (25-for-31).
Illinois leads 92-91 with 2:11 left OT.
Donovan Dent has 15 asssists. He's controlled this game.

Skyy Clark fouls out, and Kylan Boswell gives the Illini 90-89 lead with 3:37 left in OT.
Illinois 23-for-29 from the FT line.
#illini have their first lead since it was 63-62. That has to feel significant for them, given the way this has been going.
