It was gonna be until they made a last second decision to fly to Vegas for those gamesIs this Baylor's opener?
Um, no, I just checked. They play this Saturday and Sunday against Louisiana and Washington respectively
Yeah, he is going to see unforced turnovers and missed ft’s as major reason it was close. Believe ohio scored 20pts off of to’s. Not sure we even shot 50% on ft’s.Drew has some good tape on the Illini now. Ohio exposed some weaknesses. Gotta get those cleaned up.
Ya think!Personally I think we might have to play a little better to beat Baylor.

Last year’s Ohio State game with a big ten title on the line as well as the Iowa game with a top 4 seed on the line were bigger games.....not to mention the National Championship game in April 2005.....Not arguing it is a big game and a measuring stick but not a big deal if we lose.We will need to bring it a LOT more than today if we want to have a chance, but I think today's game might have been the necessary event to provide a chip on our shoulder and some enhanced focus for Wednesday ... hope so, anyway. This is arguably the biggest game for this program since the Wake Forest game in 2004-05, and a win here catapults us into the "Illinois basketball is back" category with ZERO doubt, to the extent anyone still doubts it! I am so pumped for this game, and I really hope we come in ready to play.
I wonder if Underwood didn't make adjustments intentionally. Maybe he didn't want to give something away?
Baylor plays a 1-3-1 matchup zone and plays a zone offense with inside ball screens. Will be a good test on how to beat the 131Drew has some good tape on the Illini now. Ohio exposed some weaknesses. Gotta get those cleaned up.

True but that is Drew's bread and butter and I hope they play a zone thoughThey got away from the zone a lot more last year though. Will be interesting to see what they do.
Baylor is so overated especially Drew as a coach. I expect us to win by at least ten.True but that is Drew's bread and butter and I hope they play a zone though
Lol relaxBaylor is so overated especially Drew as a coach. I expect us to win by at least ten.
Figure out the 1-3-1 early as I expect we will, and I agree Illini by 10Lol relax
They played a no middle man to man almost exclusively last year and they are really really good at it. Davion Mitchell is arguably the best defensive guard in the country. This will be a great test for Ayo and the entire teamBaylor plays a 1-3-1 matchup zone and plays a zone offense with inside ball screens. Will be a good test on how to beat the 131
