<p>Illinois beat Maryland 71-62 on Tuesday night to push the Fighting Illini to 7-0 on the year.</p> <p>After a lackluster first half, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/illinois-fighting-illini">Illinois Fighting Illini</a> got things going against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/maryland-terrapins">Maryland Terrapins</a> in the second half and got a 71-62 victory on the road for their effort. The win moves Illinois to 7-0 on the season for the first time since 2007-2008, and gives the Big Ten another win in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.</p>
<p>Maryland actually led for most of the first half, taking a 35-31 lead into halftime, but they couldn't hold onto the lead as the Fighting Illini pushed them in the second half. Illinois was led by senior <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/28040/sam-maniscalco">Sam Maniscalco</a>, a guard that transferred to Illinois from Bradley before the season. He scored 24 points on 6-for-11 shooting, including five three-point shots. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/99887/brandon-paul">Brandon Paul</a> also had a big game for the Illini, scoring 17 points while adding 7 rebounds and 3 assists.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/123861/terrell-stoglin">Terrell Stoglin</a> had a strong first half leading Maryland, but he couldn't carry the team in the second half. He finished with 25 points on 8-for-17 shooting. Making free throws really changed the game tonight, as Illinois shot 18-for-20 (90 percent) from the line while Maryland was just 15-for-25 (60 percent).</p>

<p>The Big Ten-ACC Challenge got underway on Tuesday night with the Big Ten looking to defend last year's title. Illinois is trying to do its part in College Park, but the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/maryland-terrapins">Maryland Terrapins</a> held a slim 35-31 lead at the half.</p>
<p>Unofficially, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/99887/brandon-paul">Brandon Paul</a> is leading the way for Illinois with 13 points on 4-9 shooting as the second half gets underway. The Terrapins were a bit better from the field than the Illini in the opening half and took better care of the basketball, and Illinois will probably have to turn those things around in order to earn a tough win on the road.</p>
