The Illinois Fighting Illini will now wait for action in the Big 10 tournament after finishing up the regular season. The Illini took a 43 point loss to Duke on February 22nd at Madison Square Garden. But, they rebounded after that to win their final 3 regular season games. Coach Brad Underwood believes their tough schedule helped them quickly get past that loss and finish strong.
Illinois finished the regular season at 20-11 overall and 12-8 in the Big 10. They moved back into the AP top 25 on Monday, coming in at #24. They will play on Thursday afternoon in the Big 10 Tournament in Indianapolis when they will take on the winner of Wednesday’s game between Ohio State and Iowa.
