    Illinois 66, Northwestern 62 Postgame

    The Illini played better in the second half because the players were lighter. They were missing part of their rear-end after half-time.

    Coaching Carousel

    Why take the Auburn job? Sign for a boatload of money and then get a $15 million buyout. Coach for a year or so and then be set for life.
