Not tough enough

If there was a light at the end of the crimson-lined tunnel late Thursday, the Illini had to squint their weary eyes to see it.

But this proverbial tunnel -- unlike the one inside Indiana's Assembly Hall -- seems to stretch along without an end. It just seems repetitive, the same ol' same ol', game after game.

"You're playing against a Top 20 team on the road. You played your butt off. We've done it all year. We're close," coach Bruce Weber said after No. 23 Indiana beat Illinois 84-71.
