No. 9 Illinois visits No. 5 Nebraska for high-stakes rematch

When Nebraska visited Illinois on Dec. 13, Jamarques Lawrence swished a game-winning 3-pointer as time expired to give the Cornhuskers their most prestigious win of the season.

While the memory of that knockout punch still stings for No. 9 Illinois (18-3, 9-1 Big Ten) as it visits No. 5 Nebraska (20-1, 9-1) for a Big Ten first-place showdown Sunday in Lincoln, Neb., the Fighting Illini also haven't forgotten all the body blows administered by Pryce Sandfort that set it up.
