What Happened The Last Time These Two Played?

Nov. 20, 2018: Iowa State 84, Illinois 68 (Maui Invitational)

• Illinois leads the all-time series 12-3.

Besides Ayo Dosunmu, one of the freshmen on Illinois’ roster this season was certainly bound to step up and stand out early on.

Giorgi B.’s had his moments, and Tevian Jones has played some defense, but Alan Griffin is suddenly doing it all.

Griffin had a big first half, but a worn-out Illini team — on the court for the second time in 15 hours after falling to No. 3 Gonzaga in the Maui Invitational Quarterfinals and in foul trouble — fell to Iowa State, 84-68 , on Tuesday afternoon at the Lahaina Civic Center in Maui, Hawaii. Illinois will face Xavier in the seventh-place game on Wednesday.

Editor’s Note: We’ve come a long way from the seventh-place game in Maui. IL.
