CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) - James Augustine scored 16 points and Deron Williams had 11 assists to lead No. 1 Illinois to a 60-47 victory over Indiana on Sunday.
It was the lowest point total of the season for the Illini (23-0, 9-0 Big Ten), who should remain the unanimous No. 1 in The Associated Press' college basketball poll for a second straight week.
Illinois and No. 5 Boston College (20-0) are the only unbeatens remaining in Division I.
Williams was 0-for-7 from the field and scored only one point, a free throw with 2:15 left in the game.
Robert Vaden and D.J. White each scored 12 points for Indiana (10-10, 5-4), which played without leading scorer Bracey Wright, who missed the game because of an injured left ankle.
