I’m pretty excited about this non conference game in Cameron north.. we are currently a 8.5 point favorite over the 17-10 Illini who have been struggling as of late. Let’s hope for a good showing against a solid opponent on a national stage

Duke-82
Illinois- 68

Defend the 3 and rebound. We do that and we win.

Let's go Duke

Get out to a fast start, defend the 3, and make the Illini try to drive and score on Duke’s Strong interior defense.

Think Proctor and James hold Jakucionis to 12 points or less.

A big test. Illinois was an FF/NT contender to begin the year and has fallen since starting 12-3. They'll be hyped up and looking to score a resume-building win. They're a team that lets it fly from 3, so let's defend the line and rebound. We can score a huge quad 1 win if we play our game. Looking for big minutes from Mal, Big Pat, and Gillis.

Hard to read the tea leaves. Both teams are missing a key performer, plus the Illini have been hit with a flu bug. 82-71 Devils, and either Gillis or Evans notch double figures. OFC
