A high-stakes Big Ten clash is set for Bloomington on Tuesday night as the No. 19 Illinois Fighting Illini (12-4) square off against the Indiana Hoosiers (13-4) at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
The Fighting Illini have maintained a level of consistency this season, steering clear of back-to-back losses. However, they’ve faced a couple of tough defeats along the way. Illinois began their campaign with a strong 6-1 record, their only loss in that stretch coming against Alabama. They claimed victories over Eastern Illinois, SIU Edwardsville, Oakland, MD Eastern Shore, Little Rock, and Arkansas. A rough patch followed, as they went 1-2, beating Wisconsin while falling to Northwestern and Tennessee. The Illini bounced back with a solid five-game win streak, topping Missouri, Chicago State, Oregon, Washington, and Penn State. However, they were dealt a surprising upset at home by USC last weekend, dropping to 12-4 overall.
As for Indiana, the Hoosiers have also had a solid season but have experienced their share of disappointing losses. They kicked off with an 8-2 record in their first 10 games, stumbling against Louisville and Gonzaga but picking up wins against teams like SIU Edwardsville, Eastern Illinois, South Carolina, UNC Greensboro, Providence, Sam Houston, Miami OH, and Minnesota. After a loss to Nebraska, Indiana bounced back to defeat Chattanooga, Winthrop, Rutgers, Penn State, and USC.
