After a long December break, Illinois basketball finally returns to the court this Monday for a rare afternoon tip-off against Southern. The Illini are expected to come out strong and put up big numbers, especially since Southern has struggled defensively all season. While the Jaguars have a couple of standout players—like Michael Jacobs, who’s been on fire from three, and Malek Abdelgoward, who’s a force on the boards—Illinois’ depth should make this a one-sided affair. Anyone else excited to see if the Illini can hit 100 points? Who are you watching most closely? #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #Illini
