The Illini faced the not so tough Northern Illinois Huskies tonight. The game was not on TV, so I had to keep track online. One stat intrigued me: Brandon Paul, a freshman guard, had 14 of Illinois' first 21 points. He broke a record for most points in an Illini freshman debut in the first game, and now this! He is looking to be a phenomenal player.
Northern Illinois gave Illinois a scare at the end of the half, going on a 14-3 run to close the gap to 49-41. The Huskies didn't let up, trimming the Illini's lead to seven points with 12:27 remaining in the game.
The Illini were dangered by turnovers that resulted in 17 Huskie points. As usual, they are having ball handling troubles.
The Illini eventually bounced back to dominate the rest of the game and go on to their second win of the season.
