The Illini were down by eight at halftime, but with the leadership of the tournament MVP, Steve Serio, the Illini came back to score 42 points in the second half.


U of Alabama women's Wheelchair basketball team won a women's tournament.

Alabama beat the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, 76-31, in the first game and beat Illinois, 67-46, in the second game.

They will play Sunday in the national tournament.
