The Illinois basketball team is back in action on a rare Monday matinee.
It has been a weird December for the Illini, as it feels like we have just played one game this month. The time off has been good for the team and their health, but man, it has taken me out of the hype of the 2025-26 season.
Getting back to regular play is going to be refreshing. Illinois is set to take on Southern University on Monday, and this shouldn’t be much of a game. The Illini should jump on the Jaguars early and often and put this game away.
