After an incredibly frustrating loss to Indiana last week, Iowa Hawkeyes are looking to get back on track and pick up ground on the idle Michigan Wolverines in the Big Ten. They get their first chance to do just that on Friday night as they hit the road to take on Illinois.
The Illini come in after more than a week of rest as well, but took down Penn State in their last outing 9 days ago. That stopped what had been a two-game losing streak as Illinois fell at home to Maryland and Ohio State.
