A couple years ago I would not have gotten very excited about this game. I would have put it into the “W” column for the Huskers before anyone stepped on the court.
This is not the same Illinois team we would have seen two or three years ago. Their record may not be stellar, but they are hard-nosed and much tougher on the court than they might look on paper. Amy Williams and her team better be ready for a grind-it-out Big Ten game.
Nebraska Cornhuskers (11-4, 3-1 Big Ten) vs. Illinois Fighting Illini (6-7, 0-3 Big Ten)
