Three easy steps for Illinois at No. 2 Ohio State

But I'm thinking it's not much of a stretch to expect Illinois to be in the game until the end, just as they were when Ohio State won 73-68 on Jan. 22 at Assembly Hall.

Three key factors need to change for Illinois to win at Ohio State:

Goal No. 1: Illinois shot 4 of 17 (23.5 percent) from 3-point range in the first meeting. Unfortunately for the Illini, that seems to be the trend of late. In their last four games, they've hit 18 of 69 3-pointers (26.1 percent).
