The apple doesn\u2019t fall far from the tree! In the case of Andrej Stojakovi\u0107, the son of legendary Serbian national team player Predrag, you can bet that\u2019s true!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The younger Stojakovi\u0107 led his University of Illinois to the final tournament of the best college basketball teams in America tonight in Houston, after a 71:59 win over Iowa!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrej scored 17 points (shooting 9-7, 5 reb), was at his best when it mattered most, hitting several of the biggest shots in the closing moments when the winner was decided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
