Iowa men visit Illinois Tuesday night

The Iowa Hawkeye men take a 6-10 Big Ten record on the road Tuesday night to play struggling Illinois. The Illini have lost three straight and had a rare late nonconference game against second ranked Duke over the weekend in Madison Square Garden and were throttled 110-67. Despite losing nearly everyone from a team that made it to the Elite Eight last season the Illini have another talented team. McCaffery says the Illini will force them to guard the three-point line. McCaffery continues to be impressed by the effort of his team during the stretch run. Illinois is 9-8 in the Big Ten.
