The amount of positive tests from the Illini roster reached double digits and forced a game cancellation (vs. Florida A&M on Dec. 29) and the postponement of the program’s reintroduction to Big Ten Conference play as Illinois (9-3, 2-0 in Big Ten) plays at Minnesota tomorrow night at 6 p.m. CST on FS1.

Ian Skirkey won an NCAA title in gymnastics, the Illini men's golf team again advanced to the NCAA championships, and the Illini men's tennis team reached the NCAA Sweet 16.
