The Illini ended their shooting slump and got several classy individual performances in Thursday's 90-77 win over Arkansas

Zvonimir Ivisic's dunk on a lob from D.J. Wagner gave Arkansas its first points at the 16:02 mark of the first half. Illinois went ahead 21-6 on a three-pointer by Ben Humrichous, forcing Arkansas coach John Calipari to take a timeout with 12:36 to play before halftime. The Razorbacks were competitive from there, but the damage was done.

The Arkansas stop unit is ranked No. 8 at KenPom. Teams are shooting below 50% and under 30% from downtown against the Razorbacks. Arkansas also averages 11 swipes per game, with former Kentucky guard Adou Thiero having recorded 3+ steals in four games. The Razorbacks block nearly six shots per game while allowing a stingy 59 points.
