CHAMPAIGN - The Illini basketball team will try to go to 11-0 tonight, but the key for the Orange and Blue against Norfolk State is to avoid a letdown after that big win at Gonzaga over the weekend.

Illinois jumped on just about everybody's national radar after Saturday's win, but they have been focused on staying "in the moment" and not getting too caught up in their early success.

Tonight's opponent, Norfolk State (6-5), upset 2nd-seeded Missouri in the NCAA Tournament last year.
