Ta'Kenya Nizon had 14 points for EIU

Illinois creates more EIU turnovers and cuts the lead to 39-36 with 11:18 left

Feed cleared up in the second half. The last few minutes have looked like a keystone cops movie with both teams throwing the ball away left & right and players spending more time on the floor then upright it seemed. And the officials haven't been calling anything.

A blocked shot and three more turnovers by EIU and Illinois is up 42-41 with 9:05 left

It looks like there are no referees at all. Some many fouls and violations, it's ridiculous.

EIU ties it up at 44 all with 7:34 left

Hard for me to tell - the video feed is terrible! If Illinois pulls this out, UT should get the home court based on quality of video feed alone!

I'm listening to the EIU radio feed and that's just as broken!

7-0 run by Illinois putting them up 53-46 with 5:35 left

Teams trade basket - two two-pointer for Illinois a trey for EIU making it 57-51 with 2:36 in regulation

2:15 left EIU's ball trailing by six.

Nixon hits a huge three pointer, down three with 1:32

EIU's ball down three with 1:06 remaining

Looks like Illinois is gonna pull this one out. EIU lost their poise for about 5 minutes in the second half and that turned the game around.

Missed shot by EIU rebounded by Illinois - shooting and making free throws making it 62-64 with 3 seconds

Ball game. Rockets will play Illinois

Well, if we have to go to Illinois, that would give Crunch a chance to go show them why she transferred to Toledo.

IU got killed on the boards as they only start 1 player 6' or more, so that matchup looks good for us. Also, they only played 7 players, and 1 only played for 4 minutes, so essentially 6. So, with our liberal substitutions we can hopefully tire them out. EIU had a problem with their zone pressure at the end, but I think our guards can handle that.
