The Illinois basketball team is in a bit of a tailspin. They have lost 6 of their last 7 including 2 losses at home. Illini fans are not used to watching the team lose at home and may not accept another loss to a rebuilding Purdue team that easily handled them earlier in the year. The team then goes on the road for 2 games which we should probably expect to lose. That would make for a 6 game losing streak. Would the team just give up at that point? The flipside is that they could win easily, save Bruces job, get a couple road wins and make a run in the tournament.
It certainly adds some drama and pressure to what would be a fairly humdrum game.
