CHAMPAIGN (WCIA) -- The search for consistency continues for the Illinois basketball team. Dating back to its win over No. 2 Texas at Madison Square Garden in early December, the Illini have either won or lost every high major game by at least nine points. Seven out of those nine games have been decided by double-digits, with the two outliers nine-point differentials. Tuesday night's 69-60 win over Ohio State one of those games the Illini (14-6, 5-4 B1G) showed what they're capable of, leading by as many as 17 late in the second half.
