Illinois is jumping straight into Big Ten action after a tough nonconference run, and their first stop is Ohio State. The Illini’s recent win over Tennessee shows they can handle high-pressure games, but the lack of practice time has made things tricky. Meanwhile, Ohio State just saw Brandon Noel explode for 29 points, making them even more dangerous. Freshman Keaton Wagler has been a steady force for Illinois, showing maturity beyond his years. With both teams riding momentum, this matchup feels like a real measuring stick. Who do you think has the edge as conference play heats up? #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #OhioState
