A Road Win! Illini 58, Northwestern 43

That was a really solid game, in my opinion. Box Score

Not much more to say about it, kudos to Coach Weber for having the guys ready to play tonight in Evanston. They worked the ball inside, shot well from outside, moved the ball around, and killed Northwestern on the boards. The difficult part is figuring out how much of this is Illini improvement, and how much is the struggle of Northwestern, which seems short on talent again this year.

Next up, game at the Indiana Hoosiers, a really tough place to play for a road win.

Illinois v. Indiana should be a great battle. Unfortunately, I see it as a 7 popint win for IU. D.J. White will dominate inside. Wilmont and company at home are deadly from the 3 point line.

Scout, thanks for the projection. Turns out you were close in your prediction since the Illini let this one slip away.
