Kasparas Jakucionis made a tiebreaking layup with 32 seconds left, and No. 22 Illinois survived a furious comeback bid by Washington to squeak out an 81-77 victory Sunday.

Just around the time No. 22 Illinois might have begun believing it had everything figured out, an unranked and unheralded opponent welcomed the Illini into their home and showed them just how much more there was to learn.

Kasparas Jakucionis had 18 points, six assists and five rebounds as No. 22 Illinois held on to defeat Washington 81-77 on Sunday afternoon in Seattle and complete a sweep of its trip to the Pacific Northwest.
