In what may have been their most impressive win yet, as the Illinois basketball team routed Minnesota on Saturday, 94-63.
Illinois absolutely dominated the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Saturday. The Illini are now on a seven-game winning streak and look poised for a deep run in the Big Ten Tournament and in the Big Dance.
Despite Minnesota’s lackluster record, they have been able to beat Iowa, Michigan, and Ohio State at home, so this 30+ point Illini victory at The Barn is even more impressive under that scope.
