Trailing 65-63, Indiana had a chance to tie
after freshman Trayce Jackson-Davis was fouled with 13.6
remaining in the second half. Jackson-Davis, however, missed
both free throws.
Indiana came up with the loose ball in a tip off the rebound
following the second miss, but point guard Rob Phinisee had the
ball stripped from him by guard Andres Feliz, who called timeout
with 6.4 seconds left.
Dosumnu was fouled and made two free throws to put Illinois up
67-63. Phinisee made a 3-pointer at the buzzer for Indiana.
Feliz added 15 points and freshman center Kofi Cockburn had 15
points and six blocked shots for the Illini (20-9, 12-6 Big
Ten).
Al Durham led four Indiana players in double figures with 13
points. Jackson-Davis added 12 points and 12 rebounds for his
10th double-double of the season.
Trailing 53-51, Illinois went on a 9-0 run to seize a 60-52 lead
with 5:27 left. The Illini went inside to Cockburn late during
the run, and the 7-foot center delivered by scoring six of the
nine points on an inside basket and two free throws.
Neither team built an advantage of more than six points during
the first half that included six ties and three lead changes.
Illinois led 10-4 early, but back-to-back 3-pointers from Green
allowed the Hoosiers to take a 14-12 lead.
The Hoosiers responded with a 7-0 run, going up 23-20 on an
acrobatic layup in the lane by Phinisee.
Jackson-Davis had 10 points and five rebounds in the first half
and put Indiana up 32-29 with an inside layup. But Illinois
rallied, and a Dosumnu driving layup with 4.6 seconds left tied
the score at 36 at halftime.
Indiana outrebounded Illinois 20-12 in the first half, but the
Hoosiers couldn't take advantage of the disparity, scoring just
four second-chance points off six offensive rebounds.
