The Fighting Illini are playing very well offensively, scoring more than 80 PPG while making over 50% of their shots. They are very aggressive on the offensive glass and will get a lot of extra scoring opportunities against the undersized Syracuse Orange. They are facing a Syracuse team that has struggled defensively, giving up at least 70 points in five of their six games. Syracuse doesn't shoot the ball well especially on the road and turnovers have been a problem when teams pressure them so expect them to have a hard time keeping up with Illinois here on Tuesday night! I expect a blowout in this one!
