The Indiana Hoosiers and Illinois Fighting Illini clash Saturday night in Bloomington in what may be their most significant matchup in program history. No. 19 Indiana (3-0) is off to a blazing start under Curt Cignetti, while No. 9 Illinois (3-0) has methodically built itself into a Big Ten contender under Bret Bielema.
