The Illini are 11-13 on the season and 3-8 in the Big Ten. While the NCAA Tournament is clearly out of the question, I am starting to think an NIT bid is slipping as well.
Despite the disappointing season I am looking for a few things in this game against the Wildcats.
DJ Williams has received more minutes in the last two games. He has played 15 minutes in each game and has really showed that he can play.
In the last two games Williams has combine for 30 minutes and shot 7 of 12 for 14 points and 5 rebounds.
