Well of course you've heard of a 4-point play, but that's as good as it gets, right? Illinois had a 5-point play opportunity. Here's what happenned.
Illinois is trailing Indiana by 4 with about 4 minutes to go. The ball is passed to Frazier on the perimeter. He fires a 3 and at the same time the ref blows his whistle. The foul is off the ball, someone pushing off on Pruitt. Frazier's 3 goes in, and Pruitt gets to shoot 2! Unbelievable.
So what happens? Of course, Pruitt air balls the first free throw. (slaps forehead) He makes the second, tying the game at 46 all with 3:30 to go.
This after hearing that Xavier and Nevada lost in their tournament, taking 2 at-large spots away from Illinois' chances. So they kinda need to win this game. Back to the action.
