Braggin' Rights: Illinois (11-1) vs Missouri (11-0)

"We're going to have to mix it (up)," Weber said. Expect a four-guard lineup at times. Tracy Abrams was the fourth guard late in the win against Cornell. "We're going to have to do that on Thursday," Weber said. He said the defensive mismatch is at the big-forward spot. Missouri plays 6-foot-6 guard Kim English, which presents a David Lighty-like mismatch for Illinois. Tyler Griffey said he is prepared to defend a "smaller, quicker" player. "Obviously our advantage is size," said Griffey, who had an extended meeting with Weber before practice Tuesday to discuss the matchups. "Their advantage is quickness."
