[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1427754, member: 3916"] [URL]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/illini/illini-falter-late-at-home-in-loss-to-georgetown/article_063b2840-b719-5d89-b910-f1bfc4fd4bd0.html[/URL] With 1:39 left in the game, Illinois sophomore guard Da’Monte Williams blocked Akinjo. Dosunmu came up with a steal on the inbounds pass and fed the ball to junior Kipper Nichols, who couldn’t finish the layup. A replay review showed the ball went off a Georgetown player and Illinois regained possession with a chance to take a lead with 1:32 left in the game. Dosunmu got the ball, drove to the lane and kicked the ball to Nichols, who missed an open 3-point attempt. But more than anything, Illinois missed Frazier’s defense. The Hoyas shot 55.7 percent from the field and 58.3 percent on two-point field goal attempts. The help-side defense wasn’t there for the Illini, and the Hoyas took advantage. “It’s help-side defense and being where you’re supposed to be,” Underwood said. “It’s the difference between winning and losing in college basketball. Truth be told, it’s where we missed Trent the most.” [/QUOTE]
