Two free throws from Gary Talton capped an 11-3 run that gave Illinois-Chicago a 63-61 lead with 7 seconds left. But Keifer Sykes took the ball across the mid-court line and kicked it to Muhammad on the right wing, where he nailed a 24-footer for the game-winner. Alec Brown scored 17 points for the fourth-seeded Phoenix (18-14), who will face top-seeded Valparaiso Saturday in the semifinals. Sykes added 12 points and Muhammad had 10. The fifth-seeded Flames (17-15) got 23 points from Hayden Humes and 12 apiece from Josh Crittle and Talton. Humes scored seven straight points to erase a six-point Phoenix lead and put Chicago ahead 59-58 with 3:05 remaining. Brown hit 1 of 2 free throws to tie it up and the teams then traded baskets, setting up the last-second heroics.

Lately, the Panthers have been shooting the threepointer as well as any team in college basketball , too. It's a combination that's hard to beat. Just ask Illinois-Chicago, which got run over in a firstround Horizon League tournament game at the Klotsche Center on Tuesday night. The Panthers (20-12) held the Flames to 14 points on 22.2% shooting in the first half, made 11 of 25 three-point shots in the game and cruised to a 68-55 victory. The Flames (8-22) scored the first two points, which might have been their biggest highlight of the night. Milwaukee then went on a 34-4 run highlighted by 3 threepoint plays by senior guard Ryan Allen and 7 three-pointers. The 6-foot-3 Allen added an exclamation mark with a monster two-handed dunk on a breakaway. "It's a great feeling," said junior forward James Haarsma.

The Panthers (18-12), who close out the regular season Saturday against last-place Loyola (Ill.), are tied with Detroit and Youngstown State for fourth place at 10-7 in the Horizon - one game-behind Butler and Cleveland State, who share second place at 11-6. The top two teams earn first-round byes in the conference tournament. Tony Meier added 17 points and Ryan Allen had 11 for Milwaukee, which hit 14 of 25 3-pointers en route to its eighth straight victory over Chicago.

But we can talk Darrin Williams, the UIC Center named to the Horizon League preseason all-conference third team. And like Deron Williams, Darrin Williams has had a big impact on University of Illinois, as well as Chicago, college basketball. And Darrin often gets mistaken for Deron. If you google Darrin’s name, the search engine will ask if you meant to spell “Deron.” You’ll also see many photos of the former University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign point guard in the results page when you do a Google image search for the University of Illinois at Chicago big man. “I get that all the time,” Darrin said of being mistaken for Deron. “Especially when we played Illinois at the United Center and they made a lot of jokes about the old Deron Williams versus the new Darrin Williams.
