Something’s Bruin (02/12/25)

Illinois basketball gets a much-needed 83-78 home win over UCLA, their first back-to-back victories in over a month. Mike Carpenter discusses the game, featuring another superstar turn from Kaspara Jakucionis and strong support from Tomislav Ivisic, Will Riley, and others. The 16-point lead was whittled down in the final few minutes, but Brad Underwood's team held on to set up a huge Saturday night matchup against Tom Izzo's Michigan State Spartans.
