The start wasn’t what Illinois wanted as they fell behind 18-10 after seven minutes before righting the ship, finding their energy, and cruising to a 92-65 win over Minnesota on Tuesday night.

After the 8-point deficit, Illinois scored 14 points in a row and used a 22-3 run overall to take an 11-point lead at the half. They continued the domination from that point on, leading by as many as 36 point in cruising to a huge win to open Big Ten play.

Kofi Cockburn dominated inside, scoring 33 points, grabbing 13 rebounds, and blocking 2 shots to lead the way. Cockburn also drew 9 fouls himself, putting the Golden Gophers into foul trouble single handedly.

Illinois also got great performances from Andre Curbelo, who had 9 points, 9 assists and 6 rebounds, and Trent Frazier, who added 10 points and some stellar defense on Marcus Carr, holding him to 3-13 shooting.
