# The Illini have won seven in a row dating back to last season, which is the third-longest current streak in the nation and is the longest UI winning streak since the 2001 Big Ten championship team also won seven straight. An Illinois team has not won eight consecutive games since the 1983 Big Ten champs won 10 in a row.
