Tyler Griffey made an uncontested layup at the buzzer off a baseline inbounds pass, and Illinois beat No. 1 Indiana, 74-72, on Thursday night in Champaign, Ill., the fifth straight week the nation's top-ranked team has lost.
The Illini (16-8, 3-7 Big Ten) trailed by 41-29 at halftime and by double digits for most of the second half before closing the game on a 13-2 run over the final 3 minutes, 36 seconds. Indiana fell to 20-3, 8-2.
With the score tied, Indiana's Victor Oladipo turned the ball over and recovered to block a breakaway layup by D.J. Richardson out of bounds with less than a second to play.
