This will be one of my biggest plays of the year!!
A few comments on this game.
Illinois was a 5ft runner away from beating Mich and being in the bubble talk.
Motivation is the main factor in who wins these smaller tourney games. One could say Illinois wont be motivated for this game.
However, i see one main reason why the will be.
The Big 10 is the best, or second best conf in college basketball. Illinois, is in the middle of the pack. That said, they have one of their best recruiting classes coming in. If they can get to the semi and play in New York at Madison Garden that will do so much for the program. Groce is not the type of coach to not let this team show up, and I think he is smart enough to realize what a strong showing in the NIT this year can do for the next 2-3 yrs at Illinois.
If the Illini show up, which I truly believe they will, they will win this game by 15+

Illinois is a very young team, with a good class coming in. They dont want to be in the NIT next 2 or 3 years....
Guess we will find out in 5 hours
