had illinois myself
and yes they are done. they got completely outclassed and outshot and outplayed in the 2nd half. U of A is clearly the better team.
This illinois team is similar to St. Joes last year, although IMO much better. But its extremely difficult for a team that relies mainly on outside shooting to put together 6 good games in a row. You live by outside shooting and die by it.
Still a good season, but not what fans of Illinois wanted. They will consider it a disappointment
