In late February, the Big Ten race is finally starting to heat up. However, the Illini are just now beginning their toughest stretch of the season.

Following the tough loss to Penn State, Illinois will face 4 teams — in three different locations — in a span of 9 days.

The first matchup is arguably the most daunting: a trip to Assembly Hall to face top-15 Indiana.

Head coach Brad Underwood and a recently healthy Luke Goode addressed the media on Friday to preview the matchup against the Hoosiers.

Illini fans probably remember the last time these two teams played.
