Matthew Mayer scored 21 points and grabbed seven rebounds to help No. 18 Illinois overcome Alabama A&M’s comeback push for a 68-47 win Saturday. Terrence Shannon Jr. scored 18 and Mayer went 7 of 8 and scored 15 points in the second half to help Illinois (8-3) close out the win. Garrett Hicks scored 13 points and Messiah Thompson added…
“With our team, you never whose night it can be,” Shannon said. “I’m just happy for Matt, who has been working so hard getting his body right and conditioning.”
“We’ve got 16 new guys, it’s the first year,” Hughley said. “They’ve never been in a Power Five arena before, none of these guys, and played to win. Last year, if they’d have played this game and got down, they’d have gotten beat by 50.”Mayer openly acknowledged being at odds with coach Brad Underwood over his pregame fasts, which Mayer believes has helped him play better the past three games.
Underwood said he does not “worry about for one second” and said he wants Mayer to find a pregame routine and stick with it.
