No. 2 Michigan remains on a tear in the best conference in America. It is sitting at 18-1 (13-1), and one more win will all but crown the Wolverines as the regular-season Big Ten champions.
The Wolverines will have yet another tough test come Tuesday night when they are set to host Illinois. Every difficult test the maize and blue are supposed to have they’ve handled it with relative ease — especially when they thumped Iowa by 22 points this past Thursday.
The Fighting Illini are trying to hold onto some hope that they can still win the Big Ten regular season, but they will need to defeat the Wolverines on Tuesday, and need some major help the last couple games of the season. Illinois has been on a tear itself as of late — it’s won nine out of their last ten games on the season.
Before watching the game on Tuesday, here are five things you need to know about Illinois.
