Also on the line tonight: a Cats win gives them their first ever three-game winning streak in Champaign, while an Illinois victory would be their first home and home sweep of NU since 2007

So it's the gray vs. the black in Champaign. What happened to orange and purple?

Not a good start -- 4 3s by the Illini.

Although you never want to give up 4 threes, the Cats did give up similar starts in their wins against Penn State and Indiana

Collins has got to find a way to help his guards get around these screens. The Cats aren't getting anywhere near the paint right now off the dribble

'Cats are struggling w/ UI's athleticism/aggressiveness on D, esp. BMac.

Need to get the ball to Olah.

Down by 20 as UIUC is having their way with our defense.

But it's not over yet... there is still time for the 'Cats to come back!
