With the cancellation of the Northwestern-Minnesota tilt today, Iowa was officially eliminated from contention for the Big Ten West crown. But that doesn’t mean the Hawkeyes don’t have anything left to play for. Iowa travels to Champaign today to take on the Illinois Fighting Illini. Both teams are riding hot streaks with the Hawkeyes winning their last four and Illinois winning two in a row before their matchup with Ohio State was cancelled a week ago.
But it’s Iowa who is currently riding a 6-game winning streak over Illinois in the series.
