Weber's crew looks to end Welsh-Ryan skid

When Illinois plays tonight at Northwestern in a Big Ten Conference game, the Illini shoot for their first win at Welsh-Ryan Arena since 2009.

"It's a big week," Illinois coach Bruce Weber said. "We have to play better. You're not going to beat people unless you play better.

"I don't think there's any doubt they were humbled by the (Purdue) game. We'll see how they respond. (Tonight), the biggest things are intensity and energy."
