Illini rain threes in Seattle

"It felt like you could just pass the ball and start running back on defense," senior Bill Cole said. "You knew it was going in."

On a rare trip to the Pacific Northwest - and their first venture to Seattle since the Flyin' Illini in the 1989 Final Four - the Illini shot like they were in their own backyard.

The damage included one stretch of 11 threes in 13 attempts and led to a jovial scene outside the visitor's locker room at Key Arena.
