The Illini took care of business on Tuesday night against the Iowa Hawkeyes, cruising to an 81-61 win to temporarily right the ship. The Illini got off to a hot start before an 11-0 Iowa run would get them back into it. But a gradual second half lead extension allowed Illinois to get the 20 point win.
Tomislav Ivisic had 22 points to lead Illinois, while Kylan Boswell and Will Riley added 15 apiece. The Illini move to 18-11 and 10-8 in league play and now get a brief respite before heading to Michigan on Sunday and hosting Purdue next Friday to close out the regular season.
