Obviously happy to play a real opponent but I always love when our dudes get to play at MSG, what a great opportunity for them.

If we can just split one of next two we have a foothold in Top 25 or better all year.
Assuming we finish in top 4 group in BT.

Well Co Hawk will feel right at home crying about every non/good/bad call like the actual Pro's do at MSG....Ha!

We played well at MSG last yr vs Tx. We played well vs Rutgers.
We're a difft team but we've got a few who will play 15-20 minutes who were there last year.

KenPom has FAU as #14 and Illinois has jumped up to #16. FAU -1
Torvik has FAU as #8 and Illinois at #30.  FAU -3.7



Game will come down to 2 players. Johnell Davis vs TSJ...if TSJ guards Davis we have a better chance. Davis is their go-to leader, TSJ is ours, which one fares better will dictate the winner in this one. Closely matched otherwise.

FAU has an up and coming better playing big, we have the bigs to combat that...Dain should get him in foul trouble I believe. Wing play is solid on both if not spectacular in some cases.

Scoring will be interesting FAU is @ 84ppg, while we hold teams to 59 ppg. ILLINI avg 78ppg while FAU holds teams to 67 ppg.

Predictions is that the ILLINI win 73-67 and CoHawk will complain about fouls and throw both hands up in disgust at least 13 times throughout. LOL

I’ll take it

Golden btw is a close version of Leonard...or what we hoped he would be for us....

15pts 7 rebounds this year, for Golden
13 pts 8 reb sophomore year for Leonard, while at ILLINOIS

very similiar players overall.

 ::)
Leonard was 11th pick overall in NBA draft.
Plus athlete.

Other than being white and 7 feet tall not close.
Decent college post player on a very good team.
Will lucky to be drafted.
