Indiana vs. Illinois: Men’s basketball tip time, TV channel, preview

Indiana just won a game in the Big Ten tournament, which I could’ve sworn was illegal.

For the first time since 2017, Indiana (19-12) won a second-round game in the Big Ten men’s basketball tournament, as the ninth-seeded Hoosiers stormed back from a 17-point deficit in the second half to beat the eighth-seeded Michigan Wolverines, 74-69, after the latter entered the day riding a nine-game winning streak over Indiana.

Next up for Indiana is No. 1 seed Illinois (22-8), which backed into earning the top seed in the tournament after Wisconsin lost its regular-season finale at home to Nebraska.

In the only regular-season meeting between Illinois and Indiana, the former won 74-57 in Bloomington on Feb. 5, which kicked off a five-game slide for the Hoosiers, which led them to their late-season status as a bubble team for the NCAA tournament.

Here’s everything you need to know about the matchup.
