Illinois rallies, holds on for one-point win over Northwestern

Ending a two-game losing streak here and a five-game slide in Chicagoland covered up any concerns, for the moment.

"It feels good to end (the streak) in Chicago for these juniors," Illini freshman center Nnanna Egwu said. "It's tough to lose all those games, especially because it's where most of us are from. Northwestern says it's Chicago's team. We have a piece of it, a share of it."
