The Iowa Hawkeyes can give their NCAA resume a boost with a win at home over Illinois, tonight (Wednesday). Perimeter defense will be a key. The Illini guards are dangerous from three point range but also effective at driving to the hoop. Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says the Hawkeyes never discuss the ramifications of a game. Illinois beat the Hawkeyes in Iowa City at the end of last season. Iowa is 8-6 in the Big Ten. Illinois is 7-7.

You can hear the game tonight on KJAN beginning with the pre-game show at 7, tip-off at 8.
