On this episode of ‘Oskee Talk’ I revisit men’s basketball’s wins over Rutgers & Iowa (5:33) and examine the Illini’s shooting improvements (15:54) as well as their early Big Ten success (17:10). I also take a deeper look at the conference standings (23:47) and look ahead to Wednesday’s game at Northwestern (27:29).

I also recap women’s basketball’s performances against Ohio State & Penn State (28:55) and break down Illinois’ record-tying start (34:06). Finally, I preview Thursday night’s ranked matchup with Michigan (37:18).
