Iowa at Illinois

Illinois won the first meeting, 87-83, on the road in December, and the Fighting Illini have won the past four meetings overall while covering the last three. Illinois has bounced back from losing two of three to defeat Michigan and Penn State, and a win tonight would clinch the No. 2 seed in the Big Ten tournament. The Illini pulled out the win over the Nittany Lions while shooting only 36%, and Kofi Cockburn took just seven shots while scoring 11 points. Illinois could have been looking ahead to this one as Iowa has won five in a row after beating Michigan, 82-71, on Thursday. The Fighting Illini are 12-3 straight up at home while the Hawkeyes are 6-5 in true road games. Play Illinois on the moneyline.
