Real work begins this week for Illini

"It's going to be important,'' said Illinois coach Bruce Weber. "We'll see how they deal with this, the next eight days and four games. We've got a neutral site, road site and a home game in the mix. It's got a little bit of an NBA schedule and an NBA lifestyle. They have to adjust.''

Wofford already won at Georgia and lost by three points at Pittsburgh after leading by 13 in the second half. Utah finished fourth in the Mountain West Conference preseason poll, and the Utes have the size inside to create a challenge for the Illini. While Bradley always wants a shot at Illinois - remember the Illini's 75-71 victory over Bradley in the Chicago Invitational title game three years ago - Oklahoma State was picked to finish sixth in the Big 12, one of the nation's best conferences.
