Illinois basketball is on a roll, and it’s not just about scoring points—the real story is how the Illini have mastered defense without fouling. They’re committing fewer fouls than any other Big Ten team, which means opponents barely get to the free-throw line. That discipline is a huge reason for their seven-game win streak and best start in years. It’s all about smart, hands-off defense, and it’s working. Do you think this focus on clean play is the key to their success, or could it hurt them by not forcing enough turnovers? Let’s hear your take! #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #BigTen
