Illini Dominance Exposes IU's Scoring Woes in 71-51 Loss

Indiana was held to a season-low 51 points in a 71-51 loss at Illinois, hampered by poor 3-point shooting (6-for-24) and a failure to corral misses as Illinois grabbed 41.7% of its offensive rebounds and converted 15 boards into 17 second-chance points. Lamar Wilkerson scored 21 for IU, while Nick Dorn struggled with 0-for-5 shooting and just 1 point, underscoring IU's need for Dorn to heat up as the season pushes toward the stretch run; Illinois, with a strong offense and rebounding edge, looks like a serious national-title contender.
