LIEGE, Belgium - The Big Ten Men's Basketball Foreign Tour Team used a fourth-quarter rally for the second-straight game to defeat the Euphony Liege Basketball Club, 80-79, on Tuesday in Liege, Belgium. Illinois' Sean Harrington knocked down two crucial fourth-quarter three pointers, including one to give the Big Ten All-Star team its first lead of the second half with 4:26 remaining. MSU sophomore Chris Hill (Indianapolis, Ind.) played 17 minutes and tied for the team lead with five assists, in addition to scoring four points.
With the victory, the Big Ten All-Stars improved to 3-0 in 2002. Combined with the perfect 6-0 2001 all-star team, the Big Ten touring teams have won nine straight contests, tying the conference's longest winning streak.
The Big Ten team has Wednesday off and is planning a day trip to Paris before resuming play against Spirou Charleroi on Thursday.
