Illinois has a likely lottery pick and another first rounder on their team.

Z’s brother is their 5 and is a good passer, shooter and rebounder. He’s bulkier than Z and could give Amari some trouble on both ends.

Illinois has a high ceiling. They've had some impressive wins.

On the flipside, they can be ghastly. They are like us in Jekyll/Hyde behavior.

Amari trying to delicately weave flower stems around the rim rather than dunking the ball is 80% of the reason why we won the game by less than 25.

Anyway, we crushed the spread and won ugly by 19. I'll take that. In all, it's a 23 point improvement in margin of victory since last year.

Matt just said that Williams had a back strain that he suffered yesterday in practice.

(and having to explain cornhole to the locals. It's cornhole people, not Level 2200 chess... )

I thought they were supposed to report such things. Would have been nice to know before placing a bet on him

I vividly remember the last time we played Illinois. It was in the 1984 NCAA tournament, Elite Eight. Illinois' best player was Efrem Winters (he had a poor game), and we beat them in a close one, mostly on the backs of Turpin and Bowie.

Me and a few friends rented a room at the Continental Inn (LOL) and had a kegger/watched the game. Things got out of hand, the authorities got involved, and we were forced to leave later that night. (and back then, it wasn't easy to get kicked out of that dump)
