Illinois scores 103 in blowout win on Field Trip Day

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — How about that performance for the kids?

After falling to Marquette, the Illini were looking to get back on track against a St. Peters squad in front of the future generation of Illini fans on Wednesday.

This one, ladies and gentlemen… was a wrap from tip. St. Peters could not stop the offensive explosion today from the Illini. Illinois was shooting the ball at a high clip, while St. Peters struggled to hit the mark in a 103-33 win. The Illini walked away with a major bounce back win scoring at least 100 points for the second consecutive year on Field Trip Day, against a team who is still trying to find its identity.

Again, preseason All-Big Ten honoree Makira Cook was unavailable. She has yet to play this season, but seems to be aimed for a return to the court for their next contest against No. 16 Notre Dame.

The Illini improve to 2-1 on the season, while St. Peters falls to 1-2. The Peacocks went 0-30 last season.
