Illini move up to #13 in the Week 10 AP Poll

After a successful 2-0 week, the Illinois Fighting Illini have moved up to number 13 in the week 10 AP Poll. The Illini have two games this week. Illinois makes the trip up i-57 North and are looking for their first win in Evanston since 2022 against Northwestern. That game will be on Wednesday night at 7:30. After that, a sneaky good Minnesota teams awaits the Illini in Champaign for an early tipoff on Saturday.
