After a troubling end to January, Illini basketball responds to kick off February with an 87-79 win over Ohio State. Mike Carpenter reacts during the second half, which saw Illinois trailing by as much as 11 before going on a run of their own. A lineup of Tomislav Ivisis, Morez Johnson, Kylan Boswell, Will Riley, and Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn sealed the deal on a victory that could have ramifications for the rest of the season. Next up: at Rugers on Wednesday.
