Iowa is a team that has been doing well recently. They have a new coach, Ben McCollum. He used to coach at a smaller school. Now, he is leading Iowa to some big wins. They are not as fast as they used to be. Instead, they take their time and make smart plays. This makes them hard to beat. One player to watch is Bennett Stirtz. He is a senior guard. He is very good at scoring points. He can shoot from anywhere on the court. Another player is Copper Koch. He is a freshman. He is also good at shooting. He can change the game with his three-point shots.
Illinois is also doing well. They have been playing their best basketball of the season. They are confident and ready for the challenge. But Iowa is tough at home. They make it hard for other teams to score. Illinois will need to play smart and stay focused. The game will be on Sunday. It will be on FOX at 11 a. m. Illinois is ready. They know they can win. But they will have to work hard. Iowa is a good team. They will not make it easy.
