Vaqueros brought the physicality to Illinois, and they didn't handle it all that well with eight turnovers and allowing six offensive rebounds for seven second-chance points. Imagine Brad Underwood gives them an earful.

HALF: #illini 14, Maryland 6
Maryland hail mary fails as Miles Scott gets an interception, the #illini secondary's first since Duke. Bold prediction hits.
Ugly half, but defense performed pretty well. Offense gets the ball out of half to try and build a two-possession lead.
