How to watch Illinois vs. Ohio State: Time, streaming info for tonight's men's college basketball game

Peacock boasts a crucial Big Ten men's basketball double-header Tuesday night, starting with the Ohio State Buckeyes welcoming the No. 14-ranked Illinois Fighting Illini at 7 p.m. EST (coverage begins at 6:30 p.m. EST). The night wraps up with an in-state showdown between Michigan and Michigan State.

The Illini are building toward their fifth-straight 20-win season and fifth-straight year with double-digit conference wins. Illinois has won three of its last four games. The team is now playing with All-Big Ten preseason team member Terrence Shannon Jr. Shannon was suspended from the team on December 28th after he was charged with rape in connection with a September incident in Kansas. Following a judge's ruling, he was allowed to rejoin the team in late January and played in Illinois' January 21st win over Rutgers.

Ohio State, meanwhile, has to be happy this game is being played in Columbus. The Buckeyes are 9-2 at home this season but haven't won any of their five road games. Coming off two blowout losses in-conference on the road, Ohio State desperately needs some home cooking.
