WASHINGTON COMES BACK FROM 11 POINTS DOWN
WASHINGTON 67 DEFEATS ILLINOIS 64 After a timeout, the Illini (26-7) used the last 6.4 seconds for their final play. They ran a series of screens to get Brown a favorable defensive match up - 6-6 power forward Jamaal Williams - but he still had to take a 28-foot attempt for the tie. It went off the back of the rim.
"I just thought `be big,' " Williams said. "Other than (Knicks point guard and former Huskie) Nate (Robinson), he's the quickest I have guarded. They are both real quick." Brandon Roy, one of the nation's most underrated players, turned in another top performance with twenty-one points and Williams had ten points and 7 rebounds for the Huskies. James Augustine had nineteen points and 9 rebounds and Brown had fifteen points and 6 assists for Illinois. At one stage Illinois went from trailing by fourteen with less than 5 minutes left in the first half to taking a 53-42 lead with less than eleven minutes left in the game. Overall, though, Brown shot 5-for-18.

Dentmon made 1 of 2 free throws for the game's last tie, 62-62 with 2:20
left, and Jones made 2 free throws to put Washington into the lead with 58.6
seconds to play, but no play was bigger in the comeback than the 4-point
play. Dentmon got the ball high on the left wing and got the shot off with Jamar Smith rushing toward him. The 2 were teammates and friends with the AAU Illinois Warriors less than a year ago. A pair of free throws by Brown with 16 seconds remaining pulled the Illini
to within 66-64, but Jones drew another foul and rolled in the first free
throw to make it 67-64. |
