Shannon Ryan‘s quick look:
Illinois’ defense has allowed four of its last five opponents to shoot at least 50 percent. The Illini rank last in the Big Ten in defending the 3-pointer, allowing opponents to shoot 37.4 percent. Nebraska made 10 of 20 from long range in Saturday’s blowout. Turnovers continue to be a problem as the Illini are tied for last in the conference with 13.8 per game. The Buckeyes have hit a rough patch with two losses in three games.
