CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Feb. 23 (UPI) -- Dee Brown scored 22 points Wednesday night and No. 1 Illinois neared the completion of an unbeaten regular season by downing Northwestern, 84-48.
The Illini ran their record to 28-0 and to 14-0 in the Big Ten. They are two victories away from a perfect regular campaign -- having games next week at home against Purdue and on the road against Ohio State.
Roger Powell added 18 points in helping Illinois hit 60 percent of its shots from the field.
Northwestern, which had a two-game winning streak snapped, fell to 13-13 and 5-8. The Wildcats attempted 17 shots from three-point range and made only one.
Illinois had a 45-22 lead at intermission and then scored the first nine points of the second half.
