Illinois fans saw their team dig deep for a 77-67 win against Minnesota, even when things looked rough early on. The first half was a real struggle—Minnesota’s zone defense kept the Illini off-balance and the shots just weren’t falling. But the bench stepped up big time, especially Zvonimir Ivisic and Mihailo Petrovic, keeping Illinois in the game. Once the second half hit, the Illini found their rhythm, hit some key threes, and never looked back. This kind of gritty win shows how versatile and resilient this squad can be. What’s your take—are these the kinds of games that build championship teams? #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #BigTen
