The Fighting Illini basketball team, smarting from an embarrassing loss at Purdue last Saturday, travels to Northwestern for a Wednesday evening matchup. No Big 10 road game is easy; no current Illini player has won in Evanston. The Illini need to regain their confidence and improve their game fast to right the ship before one loss becomes two.

No. 7 Illinois won seven of 10 bouts and Mario Gonzalez added a big win with a pin in 1:55 in the Fighting Illini's first of three bouts this weekend as the Orange and Blue moved past Purdue, 24-9, at Holloway Gym.
The Fighting Illini defense was highly ranked nationally this year, its best showing since the early 1990's. Expectations are high for another strong defense in 2012, but new coach Tim Beckman will need to shore up some missing pieces, improve depth and integrate new schemes into the overall game plan. There is good talent returning, but is there enough to duplicate 2011?

A coach describing a player's performance as "putzing around" is never a compliment. But center Meyers Leonard at least found himself in the right position Wednesday night to make a potential game-saving play for Illinois.
