Looking Forward: The win improves Illinois's record to 20-7 (11-5). The Illini will carry this momentum into another home game vs Minnesota on 2/28 at 8pm. The loss drops Iowa's record to 16-12 (8-9). The Hawkeyes will look to bounce back vs Penn State at home on 2/27 at 8pm.

Postgame Thoughts from Brad Underwood: "We won that game because of Amani Hansberry and Niccolo Moretti. I'm so proud of them." BIG minutes from the freshman in a BIG win for the Illini as they bounce back from a bad tough loss at Penn State.

Another Hawkins tweet... Coleman hits another free throw, he has a career-high 25. Then, he has a "pro" pass to Harmon for two. While writing this tweet, Hawkins added a transition layup and a steal. He is at the line now after getting fouled. 91-81 ILL.

Struggles continue. Dain Dainja is having trouble finishing in the post. Domask says, "No problem Dain, I got you" and nails a big-time three to go up 78-75.

Both teams have gone cold from the field after a hot start. No field goals in the last 3:30 for the ILL and only one FG for Iowa. 75-73 ILL.

Hawkins gets fouled on the shot attempt and will head to the line. He makes both and now has 20 points in 22 minutes. That said, he has five turnovers. Andre Curbelo vibes. 73-72 Illinois.

Harmon nearly puts down the dunk of his life. He'll shoot two after the break.

Krikke will sit for Iowa with four fouls. Perkins is back in the game. 10:36 left in the game. Foul trouble is worrisome for Iowa.
