I feel confident about this game. Mizzou relies on the three and defense. Pretty similar to Michigan, just not as good. As we saw, Illinois has the definite ability to shut down the three game. Mark Smith is the main guy that we need to shut down from three. If he gets hot, he can score a bunch in a hurry. But if he is missing shots, they basically have to rely on Tilmon.
In my opinion, it's gonna come down to Tilmon v. Kofi (and Giorgi to a lesser extent), and Mark Smith v. whoever we have guarding him (I'm guessing either Frazier or Williams).
