Ilinois collapse candidate for Ripley's Believe It or Not. UConn scored last 5 points of the 1st half. (m)

Started 2nd half on a 25-0 run. So, held Illini scoreless while they scored 30 points! How is this even possible against a good team? While I could care less about Illinois bruised egos, it is going to take a frontal labotomy to forget this disaster.
