| Illini Central done after two games for the first time since 1998 |
| It
was a game that featured a pair of firsts: the
first two-and-out for Illini Central since 1998
and the first-ever win for Western in the
Macomb-Western Holiday Basketball Tournament. Only two points separated these two teams with just over 5:30 to play, but Western (5-7) was able to pull away late to move on to the consolation semifinals with a 47-35 win over Illini Central (4-9). Tyler Harris scored 16 on 5-of-9 shooting while Adam Smith, perfect from the field on his three attempts, added 12. Carlos Riobo scored 10 to lead Illini Central. Western will face Hamilton tomorrow morning at 9:00 at Macomb High School for the right to advance to the consolation championship. |
