Michigan posted the most points against Illinois all season and nearly pulled off the upset, but the Illini held on for a 79-74 victory Saturday afternoon at Assembly Hall, their 11th-straight over the Wolverines (and 31st-straight at home). Illinois' super senior combo of Dee Brown (26) and James Augustine (23) scored 49 points. Michigan's upset bid ended when Daniel Horton's potential game-tying 3 rimmed out in the closing seconds. 42 pictures from the contest:
