Welcome in to the Yon-Inquire podcast. It is Jeremy Warner. Welcome in Michael Tuuk. We have to talk about an actual loss for the first time in about two months

especially with a couple of huge wins at Purdue and at Nebraska.

But we'll break this down.

We'll look ahead to Wisconsin and Indiana.

Two games at home, two games.

I think you feel good about your roster against their roster, but not an easy week at home in the Big Ten.

So we'll get to that as well.

But Mike, Illinois did lose. So what was the

biggest reason Illinois lost in Michigan State in overtime? There were, I mean, there were a few

up, you know,

six, just opportunities, I think,

even, I would have never fathomed seeing him go to for 16. I will obviously talk about that.
