How hard is it to play two days in a row?

The Cats will face either Illinois or Penn State 22 hours after they play each other. That seems like an incredible turnaround for them and advantage for NU. Does anyone have an informed opinion of how much this changes compared to a regular season match up?

I can guarantee you that it will be harder for PSU than Illinois! PSU to Chicago is not an easy travel! Plus, they just played two amazing 🤩 games! Possibly a blowout by Illinois whom PSU just beat

They're college kids, I hope not hard at all

Illini have a deeper bench than PSU and that could be a difference in a back-to-back.
