Friday/Saturday (12/11-12):

ILLINOIS 85, Jackson State 81 (First Round of the Illini Classic - 
	Also:  Princeton 51, Florida A&M 43):  The Illini received a huge
	scare from sharpshooting Jackson State guard Lindsey Hunter, who
	scored 39 of his game-high 43 points in the second half and almost
	brought JSU back for an upset.  Illinois built a 42-27 halftime
	lead over the Tigers (1-3), and extended that to 52-31 in the second
	half before Hunter started his charge.  With 7:42 to go the Illini
	led just 66-61, but extended the lead to 84-72 with 1:14 to go
	before Hunter closed the margin up at the end.  Deon Thomas led
	Illinois with 22 points.  The Illini outrebounded JSU 47-33, but
	only made 16 of 34 shots at the stripe.  11,257 at Assembly Hall...

INDIANA 107, Austin Peay 61 (First Round of the Indiana Classic - Also:
	Western Michigan 63, Pacific 56):  The Hoosier rolled away from
	a 46-28 halftime lead to bury the Governors (1-2).  Alan Henderson
	led the way with 25 points.  The Hoosiers led in every statistical
	category imaginable in this one.  16,482 at Assembly Hall...
	
Michigan State 78, Stetson 59 (First Round of the Los Angeles Classic -
	Also, Loyola Marymount was victorious):  No details, sorry...

ILLINOIS 58, Princeton 50 (Final of the Illini Classic):  Up just 51-50
	with with 1:10 to go, the Illini made a few key FTs and got two
	huge rebounds of misses from Robert Bennett to hold off the Tigers.
	Princeton led early 14-8, but Illinois then seized control of the
	rest of the first half to take a rather high-scoring 35-25 lead
	at the break (by Princeton standards).  However, Pete Carill's
	troops dictated the second half play, and managed to hang around
	until the very end, though they never took the lead.  After Andy
	Kaufmann missed the second of two freebies with Illinois up 52-50,
	Bennett snagged his first carrom and was fouled.  He made one of
	two also, but Princeton missed its big chance to tie when Chris
	Pavlik missed a hurried trey.  The Illini then rebounded and
	salted the game away at the stripe.  Pavlic led Princeton (4-2)
	with 22 points, and Kaufmann had 20.  Deon Thomas was tourney
	MVP.  12,085 at Assembly Hall...

INDIANA 97, Western Michigan 58 (Final of the Indiana Classic):  IU broke
	away from a modest 48-37 halftime lead with a second half blitz
	that buried the Broncos.  Again, the Hoosier dominated all aspects
	of this game, especially on the boards, 44-20.  Calbert Cheaney
	led a balanced attack with 22 points, and surpassed the 2,000 point
	total for his career.  Only three other Hoosiers have managed that.
	16,528 at Assembly Hall...

Michigan State 73, LOYOLA-MARYMOUNT 70 (Final of the Los Angeles Classic):
	Again, no details, but a big win nonetheless...

Saturday (12-12):

PURDUE 84, Loyola (IL) 70:  Purdue used a 16-3 run to begin the second
	half and cruised against the Ramblers.  Up just 38-33 at halftime,
	the Boilers built a 54-36 lead early in the second half and
	expanded it to 23 three times, the last at 82-59 before Loyola
	closed up the final margin a bit with some threes.  Purdue was
	a bit sluggish, as Loyola outrebounded the Boilers by a startling
	49-35.  Glenn Robinson paced a balance attack with 21 points, while
	Eric Dolezal led the Ramblers (1-3) with 15 points.  Robinson may
	be showing the effects of his back spasms, as he had a quiet game.
	14,123 at Mackey Arena...

MINNESOTA 88, Middle Tennessee State 65:  Minnesota led by 10 (44-34) at
	the break and then wore down MTSU.  Randy Carter scored 16 points,
	but left early in the second half with a bruised left shoulder.
	However, the Gophers did not suffer, building a 62-40 lead.  The
	Gophers had a good all-around game, and had a 44-35 rebound
	advantage.  Minnesota seemed to show no effects from the long
	layoff since their first game.  MTSU drops to 2-2.  13,368 at The
	Barn...

OHIO STATE 80, Bowling Green 54:  The Buckeyes had a bit less trouble with
	the same Falcon team that Michigan struggled with last Wednesday.
	OSU had a 39-30 halftime lead, and led by 10 at 58-48 with 7:13
	to go before pouring it on 22-6 down the stretch.  The Falcons
	were only able to convert 2 of their final 15 FG attempts. Lawrence
	Funderburke paced OSU with 25 points, before 13,276 at St. John
	Arena...

PENN STATE 75, James Madison 74 (OT):  Steve Wydman made a bad pass with
	30 seconds left in OT and the game tied at 71, but the ball bounced
	off of the back of Duke Kent Culuko, and Wydman grabbed the ball
	and layed it in for a lead PSU would not relinquish.  Greg Bartram
	led the Lions with 16 points.  PSU led 39-35 at the break, while
	the score at the end of regulation was 63-all.  James Madison
	dropped to 3-2.  4,170 at Rec Hall...

IOWA 78, Iowa State 51:  The Hawkeyes pulled away in the second half
	against their cross-state rivals for another big win.  The Hawkeyes
	led 37-25 at halftime, and outrebounded the Cyclones by a whopping
	42-20.  Val Barnes led Iowa with 19 points, pacing a balanced
	attack, while Julius Michalik led ISU (4-2) with 13 points.  ISU
	was held scoreless by Iowa for a stretch of nearly 8 minutes in
	the first half.  Yet another impressive win for the Hawkeyes,
	who have a date at Duke on January 16th.  15,500 at Carver-Hawkeye
	Arena...

UW-Milwaukee 77, WISCONSIN 72:  UW-M scored 8 straight points late to
	break away from a 69-all tie and hand the Badgers a second
	embarrassing loss.  UW-M, now 5-0, got 23 points from Craig
	Greene.  The Badgers trailed 36-34 at the break in this tight
	game.  This was the Milwaukee squad's first win in this 10-game
	series, the first played since 1978.  Jason Johnsen led Wisconsin
	with 18 points.  10,639 at the Fieldhouse...
