How do you see Saturday's game shaking out against Illinois? I know you live in the area and keep tabs on Illinois sports. I was at the Illinois-Northwestern game the other night, and I know N'western isn't a great opponent, but Illinois looked to have figured their offense out.
We struggled to get the ball inside the first time against Illinois, and I fear the same could happen again. They will press us some too and really pressure us in the half court.
One thing that will go in our favor though is that Hammons and Haas are playing better now than they were then. Leron Black had a career day against us in round one... I doubt he does it again on Saturday.
What do you (or anyone else) think about our chances on Saturday?
