CHAMPAIGN - The Illini men will finish out the regular season Sunday at Ohio State, and a win over the Buckeyes would do wonders for Illinois' seeding come NCAA Tournament time.
The Buckeyes are just one game out of first place in the Big Ten standings, so it will be about as tough as it gets for Illinois to go to Columbus and steal a win. However, the Illini feel like they have new life. For the first time in a couple years, they're actually playing meaningful games this late in the year.
