YOUR FIGHTING ILLINI ARE NO LONGER WINLESS IN THE BIG TEN!!! After dismantling Minnesota, 95-68, on Wednesday night in front of a raucous and reenergized Orange Krush, Illinois can look back on this matchup fondly. Entering the game, these two teams could not have been more different. At 13-3, Minnesota looked poised to come into the State Farm Center and dominate the then-4-12 Illini. Then, the game happened. So. Many. Emotions.
This entire season fans had longed to see this kind of game from the Illini. Strong guard play, minimal mistakes, smart offense. Wednesday delivered that. Giorgi B.
