The Illinois basketball team is about to have a tough matchup Monday night in St. Louis when they face their biggest non-conference rival, the Missouri Tigers.
It will be meeting No. 45 in the Braggin' Rights series, with the Illini leading Mizzou in the series 35-20. Brad Underwood's bunch will be looking to make it three in a row against Dennis Gates' crew, which would be Illinois' best stretch in the series since they went five in a row from 2013-2017.
This series has brought us tons of big moments through the years, with former Illinois guard Kasparas Jakucionis' two-point shot last year being the latest installment to the highlight reel.
