Week could determine fate of Illini

Illinois is eyeball to eyeball with the most dangerous week of this college basketball season and if ever there was a time to tighten up the loose bolts and pay attention to all those little nagging details, this is it.

With games Thursday at Wisconsin and Sunday at home against Purdue, Illinois can experience one of three possible outcomes.

It can go 2-0, which I see as highly unlikely.

It can go 1-1, which would not be bad at all.

It can go 0-2, which I see as a possibility, given circumstances and the current shifting tides within the Big Ten Conference.
