Illinois vs Maryland NCAAB Preview
Don't look now, but the Illinois Fighting Illini are heating up at the right time. The Illini are getting healthier by the day, and their offense is starting to cook.
Illinois ranks dead last in the Big Ten in 3-point percentage, but it's been playing much better basketball over the previous few weeks. It's a great time to hop on the Illini wagon, as they will take on Maryland tonight in Indianapolis.
