Iowa will need to overcome a lack of size in most of their games in Big Ten play and that will be on display Sunday when the 19th ranked Hawkeyes host 16th ranked Illinois. The Illini are 3-1 in the Big Ten and Iowa coach Ben McCollum says they are one of the biggest teams in the country.

McCollum says the Illini are a well rounded team.

Attendance is on the rise at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in McCollum’s first season and Sunday’s crowd could be the biggest in several years.
