Illinois (16-8, 5-6) at Michigan (18-7, 8-4)

When: Sunday, noon at the Crisler Center

TV: CBS

Radio: WIND 560-AM

Skinny: The Illini, on the heels of a frustrating, foul-fest of a loss at Indiana, face another stern test Sunday against No. 22 Michigan.

Against the Hoosiers, Illinois committed 30 fouls and had three players foul out. That led to Indiana racking up 35 points on 42 attempts at the stripe. The 35 made free throws marked the most by an Illini opponent in a decade.

While the Hoosiers boasted just one home loss this season prior to hosting the Illini, the Wolverines are undefeated at the Crisler Center.

Illinois has dropped its last six road games against ranked teams and is looking for its first road win over a Top-25 opponent since defeating No. 11 Wisconsin, 63-56, on Feb. 9, 2010.

Next: Illinois hosts Purdue Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
