I couldn't watch the games. Just saw the score updates. What do you mean they could put bodies on Valpo? I'm just curious what happened in the game as this was definitely a tale of 2 halves.

They have recruits to lose (so they fear). They haven't played us since 2015. With 4 other Illinois schools in a tough conference, their chances of losing increases with each game. With losses, the winning school could use that against Illinois and in their favor. Illinois is not like a Duke, North Carolina or Kansas, which sell themselves. UIUC needs a decent to good coach to recruit. In reality, they are not that far ahead of the aforementioned Valley schools.
