Illini freshmen make strides
January 6, 2012 10:43 AM
The youngsters took baby steps for Illinois basketball coach Bruce Weber.
Freshman guard Myke Henry grabbed a rebound and made the game-winning free throw with 6 seconds left as Illinois edged Northwestern 57-56 on Wednesday. The Chicago Orr product is a jump shooter who has a knack for scoring even when he doesn't do much else right, Weber said, and Henry played key minutes down the stretch.
"With playing time comes trust," said Henry. "I'm thinking that he's trying to start trusting us now."
