Illinois is set to rematch Penn in November—this time not in March Madness, but in a regular-season showdown—and they’ve never lost to them, boasting a perfect 7-0 record. Last time they met, Illinois scorched Penn for 105 points. It’s Penn’s second game of the year, after which they head to Texas to face Texas Tech—a solid early-season slate. Coach Fran McCaffery, who previously coached at Iowa, has a familiar history with Illinois’ Brad Underwood, who dominated his Iowa teams. This matchup is a chance for both squads to find their rhythm before tougher matchups loom.
