No. 14 Illinois 86, Rutgers 63
Justin Harmon's 18 points and eight rebounds off the bench led
five players who scored in double figures as the Fighting Illini
earned a Big Ten victory over the Scarlet Knights in Champaign,
Ill.
Quincy Guerrier (15 points, 11 rebounds) recorded his fifth
double-double in the past seven games for Illinois (14-4, 5-2
Big Ten). Terrence Shannon Jr. added 16 points in his first game
after missing six due to a suspension on Dec. 28 following a
rape charge in Kansas. An Illinois judge granted a preliminary
injunction on Friday that allowed Shannon to return to the team.
Clifford Omoruyi posted 22 points and nine rebounds to pace
Rutgers (10-8, 2-5), which cut a 15-point second-half deficit to
four with 10 minutes to play before the Illini pulled away.

throws after being fouled with 16 seconds left -- had 34 points
and seven rebounds for Florida Atlantic (15-4, 5-1 AAC).
UTSA's Jordan Ivy-Curry netted a career-high 38 points and
grabbed seven rebounds, while Christian Tucker produced a
double-double with 19 points and 12 assists. The Roadrunners
