LINCOLN, Neb. - Eleven months ago, Nebraska ended Illinois' season with a 92-74 rout in the Big Ten tournament. Thursday night, they found out this is a very different Illini team.
Jayla Oden scored 12 second half points off the bench and the Illini defense held Nebraska without a field goal for more than 10 minutes in the second half to score a key 72-64 road victory over the Huskers.
