I wasn’t a huge fan of either of these teams’ offseasons. For the Boston Celtics, the big move was getting rid of former Finals MVP forward Jaylen Brown and replacing him with a 36-year-old forward Paul George. ✍️ Written by Arnes Caro 📷️ Photo by TNS

A three from Coleman extends the #Illini lead to 10 with 4:51 left in the game. Illinois sure knows how to get a basket when it needs it, but now it's about locking down defensively.

#Illinois leads Cincinnati 75-71 with 9:26 remaining in the game. The Illini are currently on a 2:27 scoring drought with four turnovers during that stretch, all from different players. Those mistakes are what's letting the Bearcats keep closing in on this lead.

#Illinois leads Cincinnati 67-60 with 15:25 left in the game. Stojaković is clearly picking up right where he left off last season offensively. He's currently leading the Illini with 20 points on 6-11 shooting and 8-8 from the free-throw line
