Illinois heads into this game with a record of 4-9 overall and 0-2 in Big Ten play. They have struggled greatly this season with chemistry issues. The talent is there but they just can’t finish out games. Five of the nine losses for the Illini have been by single-digit points. This team isn’t far from turning that 4-9 record into a 9-4 record.
Indiana, on the other hand, is clicking on all cylinders right now. They are No. 21 in the nation with an 11-2 record overall and a 2-0 start to Big Ten play. This Hoosiers program has some real talent led by Juwan Morgan and Romeo Langford.
