.@JLevering4 put it perfectly... What a way to start BTN's Saturday triple-header.@IlliniMBB holds on to move into sole possession of 2nd place in @B1GMBBall: pic.twitter.com/7hMklm37iL

Hold down home court.. However you can. Wasn't pretty but Illini did that against Rutgers to improve to 4-2 in league play.

Quad 1 win right now. Big one.

Ayo & Feliz were huge down the stretch. And Illini D kept a win in reach.

Kofi has secured his 7th double-double of the season (11 pts, 16 rebs), breaking the #Illini freshman record held by Efrem Winters in 1982-83. 💪
