Illinois Gears Up For Ohio State

Friday, 2 February 2018

Scoring hasn't been as much of a problem for the University of Illinois men's basketball team, instead it's defense.

After a brutal 0-8 start to conference play, the Illini are starting to hit their stride, searching for a third straight win against 17th ranked Ohio State.

Illinois ranks fifth in the Big Ten in scoring with about 77 points per game, but if they're going to pull off this upset that 12th ranked defense needs to step up.

Freshman Trent Frazier has been a key cog in that offensive success, notching double-digit points in 12 of the last 13 games.

Tip-off is Sunday at 11.
