For the Illini, and the entire Big Ten, this was a weekend from hell.

Lets do a quick recap on the Big Ten Basketball results from this weekend, shall we?

The Illini go 0-2 against Utah and Bradley

Minnesota 0-2 against Portland and Texas A&M

Michigan State goes 1-1, losing to Florida

Michigan 0-2 against Marquette and Alabama

That's four ranked Big Ten teams that go down in one weekend, three of them going completely winless. Those three coincidentally, have dropped from the rankings completely.

All of that leading directly into this week's Big Ten ACC Challenge, hopefully it will be the much needed opportunity to recoup some of the recently lost Top 25 Cred. If not, it will be tough to crawl back into the top 25 for some time.
