#Illini Underwood: We got tested. We needed to be tested. These freshmen needed to find out that college basketball isn't about 50-point blowouts and making shots because you're open.

Illinois headed to Indy tonight for a 10 p.m. arrival (after two COVID tests today).

When Big Ten play hits, Brad Underwood's goal is to travel day of game when possible to avoid nights in hotels. #Illini

The #Illini will get No. 2 Baylor and No. 6 Duke in the next ten days.

If they win both of those, and No. 1 Gonzaga slips up somewhere in the next week, Illinois could leapfrog Iowa and Wisconsin and be ranked No. 1 in two weeks.
