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.

It’s also something championship programs do when they see an element going in the opposite direction everybody desires. 

There’s no doubt in anybody’s mind that Bielema wanted to fire somebody...

The amount of positive tests from the Illini roster reached double digits and forced a game cancellation (vs. Florida A&M on Dec. 29) and the postponement of the program’s reintroduction to Big Ten Conference play as Illinois (9-3, 2-0 in Big Ten) plays at Minnesota tomorrow night at 6 p.m. CST on FS1.
