This was a solid victory for the Orange and Blue, and the third win in a row for the young team on the rise. Illinois now moves to 9-15 on the season and 5-8 in Big Ten play. It is fun seeing this team gain confidence and come together, but can they continue this hot streak during the upcoming four-game stretch?
While the Illini have been winning, the victories are coming at home this season. They have won three in a row, four out of their last five and five out of their last eight, but it is time to see if we can prove ourselves on the road.
