Senior Malcolm Hill has averaged 18.8 points per game in his last five starts, and his leadership has been a major reason the Illini are still in the hunt for the postseason.
Also, the RAC is going to be a very hectic place on Saturday. IL won that game, and previous year was particularly injury-riddled and bad, but it’s always a good idea to remember that, on occasion, Rutgers can compete. The ball got knocked out of bounds and, after timeout, Taphorn threw a baseball style pass the length of the court, hitting Pardon in stride for the winning shot.
“We can’t hang our heads down too long”, junior captain Tum Tum Nairn said after the Spartans’ 73-70 loss at IL on Wednesday night.
“It was a high-level game, there was a lot of emotion both ways”, Groce said. “How they learned to handle success, handle adversity and stick together has been great”.

But Purdue took back over in the final 20 minutes, holding double-digit leads throughout save for a small in surge that closed the gap to six midway through the second half.
Izzo was anxious about his team’s confidence after the Spartans beat No. 16 Wisconsin on Sunday, and he was right to be anxious.
When you hear the talking heads they don’t mention IL much in large part because after a 4-9 start in conference play and some true stinkers on the road they weren’t on the radar.
With that said, I’m rolling with Sparty on the road as they try and increase their projected No. 9 seed in the NCAA Tournament. “There are multiple things to worry about”. “But we took a couple shots that there’s no way in hell you should take, and a senior should know that”.
With the Terrapins set to host Michigan State, we caught up with Lead Editor Connor Muldowney of Spartan Avenue for a closer look at Maryland’s upcoming opponent. The college basketball odds for the game have the Terps favored to pick up the win in this one. He was talking to them as soon as the game was over the other night. We have to have everyone participate. A 6-11 Big Ten record would normally figure to keep any team out of that discussion, but the Hoosiers have still been a popular team to include in that “will they or won’t they” conversation.
“We are controlling what we could control”.
“We’ve been playing well, but that doesn’t mean it’s automatic (today)”.

Michigan State: Izzo can’t be happy with his team, losing a game that it should’ve won.
“I challenged them to come out”.
What a time to be an IL basketball fan. “They can make a difference”. “A lot”, he said, fighting back tears. Justin Jackson and Anthony Cowan both contribute over ten points per game as well.

Saturday’s game will be the first meeting of the year between IN and Ohio State, but IN did win their only showdown last year (85-60). Maryland’s two Seniors, Dodd and L.G. Gill, are far less impactful and combine for only 10.0 points and 6.8 rebounds a game.
