Keep moving up.
Can’t stop, won’t stop.
Illinois — on an 11-game winning streak — keeps moving up the AP Top 25, checking in on Monday at No. 5.
The Illini were No. 9 last week when they topped Washington and No. 5 Nebraska.
Brad Underwood’s bunch is now the second-highest Big Ten team in the polls behind Michigan.
Despite Kylan Boswell’s hand injury, Illinois keeps finding ways to win, and the Illini have another big challenge ahead this week. First it’s a rematch against Northwestern on Wednesday in Champaign, as Illinois looks to complete the season sweep of its in-state rival. Then a primetime Saturday night showdown at Breslin against Tom Izzo & Co.
Win two more this week, and we’re talking about a potential No. 1 seed just a month out from Selection Sunday.
