A buzzer-beater loss to Nebraska has Illinois basketball sliding to No. 18 in the latest national coaches poll. That last-second heartbreak stings, especially after a big win at Ohio State just days before. With six Big Ten teams in the top 25, the conference is a true battleground this season. The Illini’s offense is still among the nation’s best, but can they tighten up on defense and climb back up the ranks? The next big test: the Braggin’ Rights game against Missouri. How’s everyone feeling about the Illini’s chances to bounce back? #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #BigTen
