Can the Illini finally dial in a win at the Xfinity Center?

The Illini open Big Ten Play on Friday night at their House of Doom vs. the #22 Maryland Terrapins.

Illini fans always scratch our heads wondering why the Illini have a hard time winning at the Xfinity Center. Who can forget the Illini crumbling down the stretch after having a double-digit lead in 2020? Or last year, after a strong start to open the game, the Illini fading down the stretch?

Let’s hope this year is different. As of Monday night, the Terrapins are 6-0, but their best win to date has been over Miami (FL).
