Illinois (3-1) is set to face Maryland Eastern Shore (2-5) on Saturday at home following a tough loss to No. 8 Alabama. The Hawks are a low-major opponent for the Illini, who are looking to bounce back and improve on their performance. Maryland Eastern Shore is led by top scorer Ketron Shaw, who poses a threat to Illinois with his scoring ability inside the paint. The Illini need to focus on improving their interior defense and free throw shooting to secure a win. Head coach Brad Underwood is emphasizing intensity and energy after a lackluster performance against Alabama. The Illini will need to bring a strong defensive effort to contain Shaw and earn a victory before facing tougher opponents. The game will be streamed on Big Ten Plus at 3 p.m. at State Farm Center. Fans can expect an exciting matchup as Illinois looks to regroup and get back on track.
