Shaun Pruitt led the Illini with 18 points.

Maryland countered Illinois' 2nd half comeback and won 72-66 Tuesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The loss broke the Illini's 51-game home win streak against non-conference opponents. After being down 15 in the 1st half, Illinois came back and took a 5-point lead midway thru the 2nd half. The Terrapins responded and regained the lead via big plays by Greivis Vasquez; the Illini's night was done in by poor shooting and bad turnovers. Thread. Tupper. ESPN. Recap.
