Michigan hopes to improve to 16-0 with a win at Illinois tonight. Head coach John Beilein talked about the match-up …

We handle his comments in News & Views format:

NEWS: Illinois is 4-11, 0-4 in Big Ten play and yet only opened as an 8.5-point underdog at home to the Wolverines.

BEILEIN: “This is not an 0-4 [Big Ten team]. They’ve played an extremely difficult schedule. They haven’t even played a home league game yet. They played at the United Center. They played 11 high majors; we’ve played eight. We wouldn’t be undefeated … they are not their record in any way, shape or form.”
