CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Makira Cook scored a team-high 21 points and the Illinois defense locked down Minnesota in the final minutes as the Illini turned away the Gophers' upset bid to post the 69-62 win Sunday afternoon at State Farm Center.
The victory came on the day when Illini all-time leading scorer Jenna Smith had her jersey hung in the rafters.
Smith and the other 4,533 in attendance had to like what they saw, though the Gophers - who lost to Illinois at home 70-57 three weeks ago - made it interesting, as they seemed to answer every time Illinois built a lead.
