As with most of the year, this week was another up and down one for the Illini. They came out and got outmatched physically by Michigan State, rebounded well against a struggling Nebraska team, and followed it up with an ugly win over Wisconsin.
While a win is a win, the schedule only gets tougher from here for the Illini, finishing the regular season against the top-ranked Wolverines and Buckeyes. If Ayo Dosunmu continues to miss time for the Illini, the margin of error will be even thinner.
Let’s take a look back at the week that was and a preview of what’s to come with the final two regular season contests.
