It is here! The Big Ten Tournament begins this afternoon. Now, ideally we would not be playing on the first night. In a perfect world, our games would start somewhere around Friday, but here we are.
If Illinois could have drawn their potential matchups, they possibly could not have gotten a better path to Saturday. Their first game comes against an Iowa team that the Illini scored 97 on. Granted, Illinois gave up over 100 points, but they were able to show that they can score on the Hawkeyes. With that said, what can the Illini do in order to come out on top and move on to Thursday and a matchup with Michigan?
