I don’t want to play them kind of like Arkansas

Huh? Their much better than Arkansas. Their offense is potent when clicking. Kentucky can win though if it’s Illinois we play. Will have to bring their A game from here on out, regardless of who we play

Kasparas Jakucionis is a problem. Butler will have need to bring his A+ game defensively if we play them.

Big Z’s brother will draw Williams away from the basket and they’re a great offensive rebounding team. Bad matchup.

I agree.

Put him in a pick n roll and he can’t defend us .. we can exploit that .. Williams is faster than him .

So would Freemantle

We’ve played and beat better teams than Illinois and we’ve lost to worse teams. No reason to be scared of them, especially after the absurd conference schedule we had to play. If nothing else we are battle tested.

With that said, did Illinois raid the Eastern European pro leagues for their team this year?

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Ivisic just makes Illinois so damn hard to guard

 

[Boyd94]

Brad Underwear is their coach. Enough said.

If Illinois wins they will have a massive crowd. Already a ton of orange there.

And do it without fouling. We all know what the alternative is and it’s not pretty.

Illinois is skilled offensively but can’t guard UK

Mirror image teams
