Did Illini turn the corner against Northwestern?

No matter the record-setting shooting or a hot streak that's extended three games into the Big Ten Conference basketball race, there always seems to be danger lurking around the corner for No. 20 Illinois.

The Illini took a big step in rebuilding trust with the fan base with wins over North Carolina and Gonzaga before a loss to Illinois-Chicago shattered the confidence outside the locker room. It was a repeat of the previous season, when Illinois followed four blowouts to start the season with a lost weekend in Las Vegas.

Just when things look good, these Illini have a tendency to find the monkey wrench.
