Ugh, I always dread this game. Illinois always has our number (except for last season).
I would feel a lot more comfortable if Pressey was playing; he's looked damn good the last 3 games, and I like the odds of either him or Dixon playing well.
But with Dixon missing the last few games, who knows how he will play. Plus we are still very thin at PG, and our offense is going to take a hit if Denmon has to take over the role of distributor instead of scorer.
Hopefully we scrap the press quick in this one; Illinois always seems to destroy us when we press them. We should run a lot of 1-3-1, which befuddled the Illini in their loss to UI-Chicago.
