Behind 21 points from Alfonso Plummer (including an and-1 and late 3) and Jacob Grandison, the Illini won in Iowa City for the first time since 2017. Mike Carpenter, Isaac Ambrose and Trevor Vallese react during a thrilling (and sometimes maddening) second half. Illinois basketball is now 2-0 in the Big Ten, with a marquee home matchup against Arizona on Saturday.
