LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — Tyrese Hunter scored 17 of his 26 points after halftime to lead Memphis to a 99-97 overtime win against two-time defending national champion and second-ranked UConn on Monday in the first round of the Maui Invitational .

Shapiro Spurns Enviros, Slashes Red Tape Following Party’s Disastrous Election PerformanceBeat writer Scott Richey breaks down No. 22 Illinois' Land of Lincoln Trophy-securing victory against Northwestern at Wrigley Field. What happened Turns out Illinois’ offense didn’t lose any of its explosiveness on a frigid Saturday afternoon in Chicago. Chunk plays that doubled as touchdowns from Aidan Laughery and Pat Bryant were the difference maker in the Illini’s 38-28 victory against Northwestern that made sure the Land of Lincoln Trophy was headed back to Champaign from Wrigley Field. Enough “bend, don’t break” defense by the Illini helped those big plays stand up in the 10-point win. What it means Bret Bielema took the Illinois job in December 2020 with the goal of turning the program into a consistent winner. The consistency part is still up for debate given last year’s dip, but the Illini have certainly done more winning in Bielema’s first four years as coach than his predecessors. Hitting the nine-win mark Saturday against Northwestern is a first for the program since 2007 and something just two other teams (1989 and 2001) accomplished in the past 40 years. What’s next Illinois might be seen as virtual lock for a late December trip to Orlando and a spot in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, but the postseason slate won’t be determined until next weekend after the conclusion of conference championship games across the country. But it seems like the only way the Illini won’t play in their highest profile bowl game since the 2007 team went to the Rose Bowl is if Indiana is snubbed out of the 12-team College Football Playoff field. What was said “It’s kind of like a long bye week. You get a deep breath. You get to rest your body and all of that stuff. There’s a lot of transition, but I don’t know if that’s the focus. I don’t think seeing who’s leaving and who’s coming in is the focus. I think it’s where we’re at and where this program is at and where we want to go and how do we get there with all the change that’s going on?” — Illinois safety Matthew Bailey on the Illini’s next month
