Big game at the BUC this Tuesday for the ACC/Big 10 challenge. We played them last in the NCAA in 2012-13 and beat them 63-59.
Illinois is 6-0 (0-0), they were 20-15 (7-11) last year.
Before the Season: Illinois lost Joseph Bertrand (8.5 PPG, 3.8 RPG, .8 APG) and Jon Ekey (7.3 PPG and 4.8 RPG) from last year's team. In addition Tracy Abrams is done for season (10.5 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 3.2 APG, 1.2 SPG).
Who have they played?
Georgia Southern 3-1 (0-0)
Coppin State 0-4 (0-0)
Austin Peay 2-5 (0-0)
Brown 2-5 (0-0)
Indiana State 3-3 (0-0)
Baylor 5-1 (0-0)
Total Win/Loss: 15-19
Other Note: (1) Their last two games were in a neutral location. Their first four games were at home. When they play Miami, this is their first ROAD game. (2) Illinois played on 11/27 and 11/28 before traveling for our game on 12/2 (all games away from home). This will be their 3rd game in 7 days. This will be our 2 game in 7 day (both at home, without travel).
Players to Watch
Rayvonte Rice was one of the two best players to come back from last year. He averages 17.3 PPG, 7.3 RPG, 2.8 SPG and 2.0 APG.
Malcolm Hill: 14.2 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 1.3 SPG and 1.3 APG
Aaron Cosby: 11:0 PPG, 4.0 RPG and 2.7 APG
Illinois's top 5 scorers (per game) are all guards. They also average the most minutes per game, they rotate a lot.
Spread: Spread opened at -3.5 Miami and is now -5 Miami.
