Oct. 29, 2023: #25 Illinois 82, #1 Kansas 75

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – This game meant a lot more than just basketball, but No. 25 was the higher-ranked team.

This was a huge improvement over NAIA opponent Ottawa, Illinois saw Kansas perform against the best in the country and did not disappoint.

The Illini would prevail over the Jayhawks in Sunday's Maui Strong exhibition at State Farm Center and were just as hard-fought as expected. It would get to the point and it felt like a mid-March competition.

But thanks to 28 points from Terrence Shannon Jr. – and many other contributors, old and new – the home team would pull off the upset victory, 82-75.
