It's that time of the year again, as the Illinois volleyball team kicks off play in the nation's toughest conference.
Illinois volleyball was certainly tested and is well-prepared for Big Ten play after a very tough non-conference schedule.
Facing six power-four opponents in nine matches, the Illini posted a 3-3 record, showcasing their resilience and readiness for the challenges ahead. The Big Ten, however, is a different beast entirely. It's a conference where any team can upset another on any given night.
