I do think UCONN could repeat as champs this season but they will have a tough challenge hereon Saturday,



Illinois has emerged has one of the top offensive teams in the country (currently 2nd in offensive efficiency) and I'll trade the Illini athleticism and size on defense for the technical aspect that didn't work at all with San Diego State.

This might be a scenario where we need Illinois to “keep up” but if any team can do it it's

Illinois has an outside shot at the upset here, and I expect a tight game tonight!
