With hopes of building some March momentum, the Iowa Hawkeyes (21-10, 10-10) face the Illinois Fighting Illini (12-20, 7-13) tonight. The game starts 25 minutes after Penn State takes on Minnesota, approximately 8:25 PM CDT, as JP dutifully noted.
Illinois has sputtered the last seven games, winning just a pair against Northwestern. Prior to that, they had a four game winning streak which included a home win over Michigan State.
The young Illini are led by freshmen Ayo Dosunmo and Giorgi Bezhanishvili, who average 13.
