Lose a home game in the Big Ten (a Quad III loss no less)? Better make it up on the road. Illinois has a pair of opportunities this week at Indiana
and Michigan State. Win both and a place atop the conference is secured for a while longer. Win one and stay competitive in the race. Lose both
and the pressure increases on the remaining games on the schedule. Beat writer Scott Richey discusses that and more in this week's Inside Illini
Basketball.
