Updated: March 5, 2013
IOWA CITY, Iowa - Illinois' offense was "anemic" according to head coach John Groce. The Orange and Blue struggled to find any offensive rhythm on their way to a 63-55 loss at Iowa. Illinois' shooting struggles began from the start. Illinois started the game 1-16 FG and only led once - briefly - late in the first half.
Brandon Paul led the way for Illinois with 18 points. DJ Richardson added 13. Iowa played zone defense for much of the game, and Illinois shot 9-29 from 3-PT range.
Illinois (21-10, 8-9) will travel to Ohio State on Sunday for their regular season finale.
