Illinois Sports: Could a late-season surge miraculously get Illini into NCAA tournament?

The Illinois basketball team beat Northwestern on Tuesday night and this enabled the talks of the Illini potentially making a run at the NCAA Tournament.

This victory made for two in a row in the Big Ten and three out of their last four. They will need to finish out with three straight wins and a Big Ten Tournament first-round victory to have a chance, though.

Vinnie Duber breaks down the possibilities.

While the Illinois men’s basketball team is starting to make a surge, the women’s team continues to struggle through the season.

They are trying to make the best out of a bad situation and beating Wisconsin would help.
