Iowa-Illinois II: The Illiniing

Hey hey hey. Let’s do that again.

Roughly 16 hours after walking off the court at Lucas Oil Stadium, the Iowa Hawkeyes (21-7, 14-6) will be BACK to do it again. This time over their vaunted rivals to the east: the Illinois Fighting Illini (21-6, 16-4). Illinois is on absolute fire, with their only loss in their last 13 games coming in a game as physical as it gets at the Michigan State Rocket Spartans.

Unlike Iowa, who had to scratch tooth and nail to pull out their 62-57 win against Wisconsin, the Illini coasted in the biggest margin of the day, a 90-68 win over Rutgers.
