Plummer's late free throws lift Illini by Chattanooga 54-53 The result didn't make sense to Brad Underwood. For the better part of 39 minutes Friday night, the Illinois coach watched his fourth-seeded team chasing 13th-seeded Chattanooga.

They took double-digit leads in each half. They responded every time the Illini made a push. The Illini didn't panic. They dug in behind Cockburn and guard Alfonso Plummer, whose go-ahead free throws with 12 seconds to go helped them pull out a 54-53 NCAA Tournament win that maybe they didn't deserve but will certainly take. read more https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=401408600
