CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WAND) — Illinois men's basketball returns home after two road games where they defeated Minnesota Saturday 95-74.

Now they turn their attention to a team in the Big 10 who seems to be hot when it matters UCLA. The Bruins are on a seven game win streak.

Brad Underwood said everyone that was feeling under the weather is cleared to play and Tomi still has a swollen ankle.

But they are all ready for a tough physical battle Tuesday night.
