Illinois just made a major statement by jumping from No. 26 to No. 13 in the NET rankings after knocking off Tennessee 75-62. That’s a massive leap, and it puts the Illini right in the thick of NCAA Tournament conversations. With a Quad 1 win finally on the board, every game from here on out could shift their March fate. Facing Michigan at home in February now looks even bigger—both for bragging rights and for building a tournament resume. How do you see Illinois stacking up against the Big Ten’s best this season? #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #NCAABasketball
