26 going on 30
The Fighting Illini picked up another win last night to set the school record for consecutive wins at 26. There are four more conference games left on the schedule and the opportunities for Illinois to lose a regular season game are falling away. A win at Iowa on Saturday will tie them with the 1960-61 Ohio State Buckeyes for the third best start in Big Ten conference history.
Big Ten Wonk has a good recap of the news coverage and Mark Tupper also
blogged about the game. If you're looking for video highlights (since it wasn't on national TV), try
