The Illini weren’t sharp on Tuesday night in Lincoln, but a late surge allowed them to pull away and get the Big Ten road win over Nebraska 81-71. Trent Frazier led the way with 29 points and Kofi Cockburn added 16 and 13, but the Illini got huge minutes down the stretch from Omar Payne and Coleman Hawkins on a night when Alfonso Plummer and Cockburn weren’t at their best to move to 5-0 in league play for the first time since 2005.

The Illini moved to 4-0 in the Big Ten and 11-3 overall with a 76-64 win over Maryland on Thursday night behind a monster performance from Kofi Cockburn and a Trent Frazier 2nd half heater.
After a fast start and a 21-7 Illini lead, Kofi Cockburn picked up his second foul. The Terps took advantage and turned a 14 point deficit into a 4 point halftime lead with Cockburn sidelined. This is a Terrapin team that came in with confidence, having won 4 in a row in the State Farm Center and Illini fans felt like ti was more of the same.
