Illinois vs Georgia Tech in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge

Brennan: Illinois -- Like Purdue above, Georgia Tech is not nearly as bad as you might think -- Brian Gregory deserves major credit for an early-season burst -- but Illinois's romp through Maui was convincing. Plus: Orange Krush.

Katz: Illinois -- The Maui Invitational win was no fluke and while the Yellow Jackets are shooting the 3-pointer better, it won't be enough to win in Champaign.

King: Illinois -- The Illini have been one of the nation's biggest surprises thus far.

Medcalf: Illinois -- The Illini, coming off a Maui Invitational tournament victory, have found more balance under John Groce and they'll use it to overcome one of the most efficient defenses in the country.

O'Neil: Illinois -- The Illini are in a good early-season groove with John Groce at the helm and Georgia Tech won't get them out of it.

Pickeral: Illinois -- The Illini will keep building off their Maui Invitational championship.
