This win for the Illini moves them to 5-0 on the season. This is the best record Illinois has had since the 2014-2015 campaign when the team finished 19-14 overall and was throttled in the NIT by Alabama.
Hopefully, that same result won’t happen this season. Illinois has a goal of making the NCAA tournament this year and from the look of things, they are on the right track.
The win against Augustana on Wednesday night wasn’t the best win in the world. They aren’t even a DI program and they don’t count toward the Illini RPI but it is a win nonetheless.
