Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as the two teams are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Indiana hasn’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 78 points per game. However, it’s not like Illinois struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 86.9. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
