Usually but not always. Last night we had strong E and SE winds statewide. Blowing from Indiana toward Iowa. Today, of course, we're back to the more typical circumstance that you cited.

Illini comeback against Arizona, March 26, 2005
Starting with Deron Williams' three in regulation, here's the radio call of Illinois' comeback against Arizona on March 26, 2005.
OK, wine has been chosen and is breathing. Pre-game steak dinner seems to be on schedule. Earlier than normal for dinner, but what’s an eastern time zone Illini fan gonna do. Just two hours to go until game time.
Call me old fashioned but I think all the stripes should be orange
No freshmen in the top 9 in minutes played.
The most played freshman has 4 minutes played in december. no points 1 reb 1 pf.

Agreed. Sometimes you just have to keep it simple and to be honest who doesn't wear orange to a Illinois basketball game.
Per ESPN (https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/stats/_/id/12 and https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/stats/_/id/356)
TOs:
IL: 15.9
AZ: 12.4
Given that AZ will be playing in front of 15,000 screaming fans, the *chances* of them generation more TOs is real. In fact, the chances they will play a sub-par game is real.
I think IL has the edge. And, if IL is hot, then this is a double digit win for IL
I feel that a double digit win for IL is around 65-70%
Skip the food and stick to bourbon, you will be optimistic like me!
Getting the other bigs going will help Kofi
They have the talent
The good ole days are here again.
I doubt we see much of him from now until the end of his college career. Wish it wasn't the case.

I camped to get Rose Bowl tickets in December 2007.
I also remember one year in Krush I got out of having to wait 6 hours before a Paint the Hall Orange game against Wisconsin because I had mono so my girlfriend (now wife) agreed to hold me a spot in line. I only waited outside for 2 hours that day. When I showed up and got under the blanket, the first thing she said was "don't dutch oven me, okay."

Warm and 70 here in South Carolina today, and no wind.........game could actually be played outdoors.
As expected, heavy betting came Friday night into Saturday's action, and the line has shifted to -2.5 for Arizona (as of this writing). One site had Zona as -3.5. Betters are playing favorites in the rankings rather than doing their research. I'm not a betting man, but I'd take the Illini at home and bet the under.
Meh...we beat Rutgers by 30 after Bo high-fived all of the Rutgers players in the layup lines.
