I don't think any Illini fans are expecting a cakewalk. Most are pretty informed fans and understand our strengths and weaknesses. It'll be an interesting matchup as we are polar opposites. It is definitely going to come down to rebounding and if the 3s are falling.
If any Illini fans seem confident I'm sure its just because we know what our team is capable of. If they are at the top of their game, they can beat just about any team in the country badly. The problem is we are very inconsistent and can also lose badly to teams who have much less talent.
I think its going to be a great matchup though and we'll have the basketball world watching. Given our time slot, a lot of tvs are going to be tuned in.
Agree with most everything you said. Maybe the perception is off -- a few trolls last night were telling us otherwise re: cakewalk
Let's just be honest here: We both like our draw. You were pegged as an 8 or 9 and ended up 7, CU was 36th and became a 10 due to shuffling.
