Illinois had control of the game for the majority of the time but in true Illini fashion it came down to the wire. I am used to the ball bouncing in favor of the opposing team but today was a different story.
Today, the ball bounced in the favor of the Illini.
This Illinois team has some pretty good players and over the last two games that fact has come to fruition. The Illini are now three wins away from making the NCAA Tournament and their next victim is the Purdue Boilermakers.
Do I expect Illinois to win tomorrow, no, but I think they have a realistic shot.
