CHAMPAIGN - The Illini men survived a tough game against Norfolk State last night, despite their worst shooting performance of the year. Illinois clearly didn't have it from the field. They had some uncharacteristic mistakes, but head coach John Groce gave them credit for digging deep at the end of the game and finding a way to win.
