Week in review: Wisconsin at Illinois

We want to make sure you are completely and 100% ready for today’s game so we’ve linked every article we’ve written about Illinois this week right here in this post! I know, I know, we are too good to you.

We will have a couple more posts later today including: a How To Watch post, a Game Thread, a Game Recap and Unit Grades. Ryan will be on his couch giving you all of the information about the game that you need. The Twitter account firing off average (when Drew is in charge) and informative (when Ryan is) tweets throughout the game. Owen will have grades after the game and we’ll have a bunch more stuff for you too!
