Last night, Illinois scored its biggest comeback in team history. Down 20 points at halftime, Illinois got down as much as 23 points early in the second half before staging their amazing rally. Illinois was on the road at #19 Clemson playing in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Last year, Illinois lost to Clemson at the Assembly Hall 76-74. This year, Illinois came back to win it 76-74.
It was a much needed win as the Illini were coming off a pair of losses in Vegas. Those were both close games that came down to the final minute but still games that Illinois should have won.
The win helped the Big Ten defeat the ACC in the challenge for the first time in its 11 year history, six games to five.
