No. 20 Illinois beats No. 24 Iowa for share of Big Ten title
Kofi Cockburn had 21 points and 14 rebounds, and No. 20 Illinois beat No. 24 Iowa 74-72 to win a share of the Big Ten regular-season titleMARCH 7, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Strong showing on Senior Night Cockburn ended with 21 points (9-17 FG, 3-6 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 34 minutes during Sunday's 74-72 win over Iowa.
Impact While Cockburn has two years of collegiate eligibility remaining, he was recognized by Illinois during the team's final home game of the year as he weighs a trip to the draft following the season. The big man stepped up at the State Farm Center and posted a strong double-double to help the Illini clinch a share of their first Big Ten title since 2005. Cockburn posted double-doubles in just three of his final seven appearances during the regular season, but he should maintain a prominent role for the Illini as they serve as the top seed during the Big Ten Tournament.
