Anyone else catch any of this game. Man...it sounds like Illinois stole DePaul's entire recruiting class by adding their assistant coach. I have to tell you...Illinois is long, and athletic. They had a few breaks where it seriously to two seconds to get the layup. They have serious speed on the break and play that aggressive physical defense that Underwood is known for. They are going to be a handful.
I like that our guards will be able to handle the physicality, but these guys are going to be hard to keep off the glass on the offensive end. So far, they have impressed me the most in regard to these early games...with Michigan State right behind. Michigan State has a true Tom Izzo type of team...after a few years of not looking like the old Michigan State.
