When they needed a win in the worst way, Illinois basketball got one in style with a 95-74 blowout over Minnesota at the Barn. Freshman Will Riley continued his heater, dropping 27 points in addition to nine rebounds and seven assists. Kasaparas Jakucionis added another 24 of his own, while Tomislav Ivisic grabbed an 18-11 double-double on near-perfect shooting. It's not the first blowout win of the Illini's season, so the question is: can they capitalize on two big opportunites at home vs. UCLA and Michigan State?
