Skyy Clark scored a career-high 19 points, RJ Melendez had a career-high 17 and No. 16 Illinois cruised past Lindenwood 92-59 on Friday night.
"It’s really good to see RJ get going," Illinois coach Brad Underwood said. "He and I had a meeting, and he responded in a really really good way. He just showed up, buckled down and worked. I thought he was aggressive, and yet, didn’t force things.""He was just a type of guy who was a little bit shy to take those types of shots and all that, but he’s gained a lot of confidence," Melendez said.
Melendez cleared his previous career high of 13 points by the 4:07 mark of the first half. He finished 7 of 11 for the night and added four rebounds."I thought we made some defensive mistakes , and obviously their talent still takes over and their ability to make you pay is a lot greater than some teams," fourth-year Lindenwood coach Kyle Gerdeman said.

2 Illinois Sisters Get Probation After Capitol Riot PleasTwo Chicago-area sisters have been sentenced to 30 months of probation after pleading guilty to joining in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Federal prosecutors requested that Trudy Castle and Kimberly DiFrancesco serve at least 30 days in jail, followed by 36 months of probation and 60 hours of community service. But a federal judge in Washington, D.C. instead sentenced them Tuesday to probation and ordered each of them to pay $500 in restitution and a $2,000 fine. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that both sisters pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.
