Andres Feliz had 11 points and a career-high 10 rebounds as Illinois (12-20) won for just the second time in seven games. “I was just really excited,” Bezhanishvili said. “I so was confident in my guys because I knew they would leave it all out there. I felt like we were going to win the game and we did. When the teams played on Mar. 3 in Champaign, Pardon, a senior, had the best of the matchup with Bezhanishvili. The freshman’s turnaround on Wednesday — he was 12 for 15 from the field — is indicative of the way he improved in the second half of the season. “To go do that on this stage at this moment ... he’s light years from where he was,” Underwood said.
