After Saturday’s loss to Iowa on Senior Day, the Illini will head up to Evanston to face the Northwestern Wildcats for Rivalry Week.

Lovie discussed how the team is preparing to end the regular season:

On Rivalry Week:

• The tradition goes back a long time and trophy has been with the Wildcats for too long.
• There is a special feeling when playing against a rival - in any sport, at any level.
• “For us, five years is too long. We have ended some streaks and we are looking to end another one this week.
