If you like scoring, Illinois' 48-37 win over Northwestern today wasn't the game for you. But it was an impressive performance for the Illini after a tumultuous week that saw them lose one player, Brian Carlwell, to injuries sustained in a car crash and another player, Jamar Smith, to legal issues arising from that crash. Give Illinois coach Bruce Weber a lot of credit for the way he has his team playing. Not just their ability to win a game after a stressful week, but the way they won the game: Illinois has won six of its last nine, and in the six wins, the most any opponent scored was 52 points. Most fans don't enjoy games like that, but Weber does.
At halftime of the game, the Illinois mascot, Chief Illiniwek, performed for the next-to-last time. The university's capitulation to the NCAA on that issue means the school will be permitted to host an NIT game. But Illinois is still thinking Big Dance, and it's still a realistic possibility.
