• He has reached double figures in the scoring column in five of the last six games, including four-straight contests. Over the last four games, Franklin has compiled 78 points (19.5 points per game) and has hit 17-of-26 (65.4%) from the 3-point line.
• Sophomore Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 11 points and converted all five of his free throw attempts. He also pulled down a team-best eight rebounds and turned back three Illinois shot attempts.
• Senior Aljami Durham finished with nine points, three rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes of playing time.
• Redshirt junior Race Thompson tallied four points and five rebounds in 29 minutes.

• Freshman Khristian Lander drilled a corner 3-point in his lone shot attempts in four minutes off the bench.

• The Indiana defense held Illinois to just 29 points in the first half, their lowest offense output in any half this season.
