What home court edge? Illinois has struggled at Assembly Hall
March 19, 2010 6:57 AM
Returning home doesn't guarantee anything for Illinois.
The Illini lost their last three games in Assembly Hall, including a two-pointer to Minnesota that probably cost Illinois a spot in the NCAA tournament. When the top-seeded Illini (20-14) play host to fourth-seeded Kent State (24-9) in the second round of the NIT at 7 p.m. Monday (ESPNU), Illinois coach Bruce Weber will remind his team about the 69-63 overtime victory over Kent State last season in the South Padre Invitational semifinals.
