Illinois Vs. Indiana Preview: Illini Go For Key Road Victory

Illinois is looking for its second win on the road in Big Ten play.

Feb 9, 2012 - The Fighting Illini have lost four of their last five games in BIg Ten play, but they have recorded key wins over Ohio State and Michigan State at home, and those were big for NCAA tournament purposes. So too would be a win over the Indiana Hoosiers on Thursday night.

Indiana's defense is really struggling in league play -- the Hoosiers aren't forcing very many turnovers, and opponents have made 51% of their two-point attempts. That's encouraging news for an Illinois offense that has had its own issues this season, especially in the turnover department.

Date & Time: Thursday, Feb. 9, 7:00 p.m. CT

TV: Big Ten Network
