Maryland continues to be the thorn in Brad Underwood's side with a 71-66 win over Illinois. Mike Carpenter reacts during the second half, which saw the Illini grit things out and even tie it up late. Ultimately, Kevin Willard's Terrapins were too much to handle, but it's clear these two teams will be vying for the top of the Big Ten. While there are no such things as moral victories at this point, things are still trending well for Illini basketball.
