Guess the line vs Illinois.

I’m guessing RU +5

With Illinois’ high pressure D and quickness, I don’t think we match up well. Love our team, but aside from Young, we still are tall and long at G, but slow and shaky with the rock.

Illinois doesn’t play high pressure D. More of a pack line.

I honestly haven’t watched them this year, but thought that’s Underwood’s style and how they’ve played the last 2 years, lots of forcing of turnovers.

The official opening line is 5.5.

Yeah they completely flipped in the off-season. Now they’re dead last in turnovers but tops (in conference play) in defensive efficiency. Still not a defensive juggernaut, but it’s a different look than last season
