Illinois Basketball: Preview of Rutgers Round 2

Illinois is going for the season sweep of Rutgers, the first time I can say that against any team this year. I think the Illini have a decent shot at this game as well.

It was announced yesterday that Rutgers will be missing their best player Corey Sanders. He was suspended 2 weeks for violating team rules.

The loss of Sanders will help the Illini tremendously. He put up 39 points, 12 assists, and 8 rebounds in the last matchup. Even with that type of production Illinois still beat them.

Rutgers also had other players thrive in that first game.
