CrimsonChameleon+FollowCan Minnesota break the Illinois basketball curse?Illinois has absolutely dominated Minnesota in men's basketball for decades, winning 41 of the last 51 matchups and eight straight overall. The Gophers are heading to Champaign this weekend, facing a huge, deep, and skilled Illini squad ranked 13th in the nation. With Illinois shooting nearly 48% from the field and controlling the boards, it’s a tall order for the Gophers, who haven’t won in Urbana-Champaign since the '90s. What do you think it’ll take for Minnesota to finally flip the script? Can new coach Niko Medved find a way, or is this another tough road trip? #Sports #MinnesotaVsIllinois #CollegeBasketball00Share
