Illinois vs. Ohio State 2016: Illini look to split season series against Buckeyes

The Fighting Illini return to the State Farm Center on Thursday night to do battle with the Ohio State Buckeyes. These two teams met back in Columbus at the start of conference play, and Illinois gave Ohio State a run for its money before falling 75-73 on the road. Now back at the State Farm Center, the Fighting Illini will have a chance at redemption when they play host to the visiting Buckeyes. Fresh off its second conference win over Minnesota, Illinois may have what it takes to get a very good home win on Thursday night.
