If you’re an Illini & Bears fan tomorrow is one of the most consequential days we’ve experienced in a while:
Illinois basketball looks to exercise two demons as they take on UConn at MSG — last time we played UConn, the 30-0 run, and last time we played at MSG, the worst loss in school history. A win would solidify us as a top team in the country and be huge for seeding down the road.
The 1st place Bears take on the defending Super Bowl champs at their place. A win drastically increases our playoff chances and shows the country we can hang with the big dogs.
I cannot tell you how huge going 2-0 would be. Let’s. Freaking. Go. ILL. Bear Down.
