There are a ton of expectations for the Illinois basketball team this season.
On Monday night, the Illini played another competition, this time it was against the UT Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros. This wasn’t a particularly big game, but we had to take care of business, as they were going to give us their best shot.
Illinois managed to beat UTRGV by 14 points, as we moved to 6-1 on the season. Leading up to the game, we received some not-so-great news in regards to our national standing, though.
