Illinois at Northwestern

Northwestern comes off a tough loss at Georgia Tech 52-51 with both teams having off-shooting nights and Bryant McIntosh led the Wildcats with 18 points. Northwestern returns four starters and six of the top seven scorers from last year's squad, which made the NCAA Tournament for the first time in the school's history. The Wildcats are in double-revenge mode after losing twice to Illinois last season. The Illini lost at Wake Forest 80-73 on Tuesday for its first loss of the season and this will be the toughest test of the young season in its second road game. Play Northwestern on the moneyline.
