This could be a letdown spot for Illinois after upsetting Tennessee in Nashville on Saturday. The Illini have a loaded frontcourt with 7-foot brothers Tomislav and Zvonimir Ivisic, along with PF David Mirkovic. That said, OSU has multiple quality bigs in Chritophy Tilly, Devin Royal, and Brandon Noel that can handle them. The Buckeyes also have a strong backcourt with four-year starter Bruce Thornton (20.1 ppg, 4.3 apg, 52.8 3PT%) and sharp-shooter John Mobley (14.0 ppg, 37.3 3PT%). Illinois has struggled with its perimeter defense which Thornton and Mobley should be able to take advantage of. Take the home side with the points.
