The No. 6 ranked Illinois basketball team has had some bright spots throughout the first five games of the 2020-21 season, starting 4-1.

It’s safe to say that the Orange and Blue have captured the nation’s attention. This feat was no more evident than a convincing 83-69 win against No. 10 Duke, where the Illini dominated the game from start to finish in a valiant road effort.
