Illinois loses to Minnesota 86-75

Illinois beat Minnesota in both football and basketball already this year, so it's probably fair that they beat us at home in the middle of the coldest weather snap since 1936. It just makes sense. A revenue sports sweep of another Big Ten school just isn't in the cards for the Illini right now.

The team will be competent eventually.

Trent Frazier had 30 points. Good to see him get back in the rhythm of insane scoring stat lines.

This was badass, too:
