Northwestern is one of the hottest college basketball teams in the country, and it’s back in action on Thursday night with a rivalry game against Illinois.
NU is now ranked No. 21 in the nation, and it’s sitting at second place in the conference. It’s not a place that anyone would have put Northwestern — perhaps the team itself — prior to the season, but the inspired squad will face another stiff test on the road in Champaign.
The Fighting Illini are 13-2 at home this season, offsetting their 3-5 road mark to some extent.
