We ought to be a much better team than last time we played GCU, but honestly, who knows. We shouldn't be playing at GCU anyway, and I am still pretty annoyed by the whole concept.
Eh, I get the frustration since as a fan we want to play teams like this on our home court so we have more opportunities to see our Illini win in Champaign. In this particular instance I think some of the motivation behind scheduling GCU away was to try and entice our fan base to go to Arizona for the weekend and potentially get more of a home crowd on Sunday evening. We also have a decent following in the Phoenix area so I'm hoping to see some Orange in the crowd there as well.
Another plus to playing GCU on the road is that it should result in this being a Quadrant 2 win where if we played them at home it would almost for sure be a Quadrant 3 win.
