Illinois defeats Maryland in College Park for the first time since 2011. Exciting stuff, yeah?

Absofrutely.

Illinois edged by Nebraska in overtime to keep the winning streak alive and re-enter the top 10. Can the Illini extend the streak on the road at Michigan State?

It may have been ugly, but Illinois got the job done against Indiana on Saturday. Now, it will need a much better performance on the road Tuesday against Ohio State.

Can this be the start of a winning streak, or will the Illini lose even more ground in the Big Ten title race?

Hello "We're Back Department", I'd like to file a claim.

Terrence Shannon Jr.'s scores 16 points in his return from suspension and the Illini defeat Rutgers at home, 86-63.

Maryland remains Illinois' kryptonite. Will Brad Underwood's squad bounce back in Ann Arbor against bottom-dweller Michigan on Thursday?

Our "experts" say yes.

What a shocking 72 hours it has been for Illinois basketball. Terrence Shannon Jr. is arrested and charged with rape, and AD Josh Whitman discusses the situation (and immediate suspension) in a press conference shortly before the team dominates FDU 104-71.

As always, Will and Noah are here to discuss it all.

Will and Noah discuss Illinois falling just short on the road against Tennessee, while also discussing the team's new ranking of No. 16.

On top of that, the guys talk about women's basketball's blunder against Michigan and how Tommy DeVito has taken the NFL by storm.

Terrence Shannon Jr. and Marcus Domask (66 combined points) led Illinois to a big win at Madison Square Garden, and they'll have their hands full once again on the road on Saturday.

Pending another top-20 win, a potential spot in the top 10 awaits them...
