CauseThatsMyDJ Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 When: Thursday, 1/3 at 7pm ET on FS1 ESPN: 89% chance of IU victory Vegas: IU -11.5 KenPom: #113 Illinois at #25 IU. Gives IU an 88% chance of victory with a predicted score of 81-68 IU Scouting Report Illinois Scouting Report The elephant in the room is Illinois's ability to turn their opponent over (7th in the nation) and our propensity for giving it up (236th in the nation). We shoot it better and hold opponents to a lower shooting percentage, both by considerable margins. Illinois is better at protecting the ball (not by much) and getting offensive rebounds. They also shoot free throws better, but still are below 70%. Illinois has two guys that shoot over 40% from 3 (Trent Frazier at 16 ppg, Aaron Jordan at 11ppg) so we will need to contain them. Illinois's best win this year is against KenPom #98 East Tennessee St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 As I have been saying for days now... the one concern (actually two), is Illinois' ability to play pressure defense... and IU's ineffectiveness against pressure defense, when it has been applied to us. In fact, a desperate team requires desperate measures. I would not be surprised seeing Underwood using a full court press against us for the entire game. mile's one piece of advice to Archie, prior to the Illinois game: Forget about working on free throw shooting for the time being.... and work on how to break pressure.

Will follow your lead and not read. Funny how this thing has turned around. Tate has nothing to hang his hat on, after the racks have fallen off the Illinois coaching tree, after Self.. Took awhile with BAM. Less with Groce. And could be even less under Underwood. An old Tate story... not the one you referenced : Tate: Moves on Gordon have Illini Nation seeing red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's respected by a few....but general consensus is he's been a voicebox for the school and has been told what he can and can't write. Not many respect his work.

Hoosierhoopster Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I'd like to see IU start well, and not start with the usual digging itself into a hole unnecessarily. I think we win this one handily. Go IU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 The only reason we keep this one close will be because we won't have played in just under 2 weeks. It's simple. Illinois sucks. Is really bad. Underwood's pressure defense is foul, foul, foul....and hope officials don't call. Plus they have literally zero shooters. They have one guy is a borderline 4/5 star recruit that is a product of the hype machine surround his AAU team. I really don't expect this one to be close.

Underwood is planning to attack Romeo's wrist early and often I assure you. I'm just hoping no one gets hurt. They are desperate and the only way they can salvage their season is to beat IU.
