The fourth major test was a charm for the Tennessee State men's basketball team Sunday. After suffering close losses to major powers Georgia Tech, Indiana and Vanderbilt earlier in the season, the Tigers scored their biggest win of the season with a 60-58 upset victory over Big Ten foe Illinois before a stunned Assembly Hall crowd of 16,618 in Champaign, Illinois."There's no question about it that having been there before made a big difference," TSU Coach Cy Alexander said. "We've played with all of these teams. We haven't gotten blown out by anybody all year. This is a great win for our program as we try to move the program forward."
