BLOOMINGTON – When Lucas Heflen's driving basket opened the second-half scoring to bring Illinois Wesleyan within four points Saturday at Shirk Center, it appeared the Titans might be putting a shaky first half to rest.The remainder of the second half was a series of Thunder claps that deafened IWU's hopes, and the Wheaton Thunder rolled to a 79-58 College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin victory.No. 16-ranked Wheaton outscored the Titans by 30 points from beyond the 3-point arc in IWU's worst home defeat since an 87-65 loss to Augustana on Jan.
