There are two weeks left of the Big Ten regular season, and today's State of the Program episode focuses on two teams that are playing their finest basketball of the season at the most crucial of times. Illinois and Iowa are on long winning streaks and currently ranked inside the Top 10. So two states of the program means we have two guests. Joining us to talk Illinois is Brandon Simberg of the Daily Illini, and joining to talk Iowa is Locked On Hawkeyes' Andrew Wade. We talk the home stretch of the regular season, Luka Garza vs. Ayo Dosunmu, and seeding for the Big Ten tournament.
