Now the Illini welcome in the Nebraska Cornhuskers in what could be a let-down game, but many Illinois fans are hoping not.
Illinois beat the Boilermakers in fairly easy fashion 84-70. This was by far the best I have seen the Illini play this season.
I have gone on and on about the magnificent game plan that Groce put together and the way the Illini played together for the first time this year.
Now they head into this game against Nebraska with some momentum. This game is a must-win game, much like the previous 17 contests this season.
