Welcome to “This Week in Illini Athletics,” a weekly review of the past week of Illini sports and a preview of the week to come.
And we were too busy celebrating the Big Ten Championship a week ago so we’ll get caught up on the last two weeks of Illini sports this time.
MEN’S BASKETBALL (22-9 Overall, 15-5 Big Ten, NCAA First Round)
Two Weeks Ago: You know what happened. Illinois won the Big Ten Championship.
Last Week: The 16th-ranked Illini dropped a 65-63 nailbiter to Indiana in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament on Friday.
