Illinois will have to contend wih the Big Men of Nevada...6-11 Nick Fazekas, Center WAC player of the year inside as well as 6-10 245 pound Pickney.
Nevada also has a 7 footer they will bring in off the bench.
Nevada plays a solid In side out side game and the assignment inside will go to Augustine and Nick Smith (Smith)who will be nothing more than a foul machine trying to contain Fazekas.
Nevada will live and die by the zone, If Illinois is knocking down the threes it could be a very long day for them, but with Illinois shooting woes last FIVE games (40%) the Illini better play FULL COURT BALL PRESSING AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.
Here is an interesting stat regarding Nevada...Nevada is 18-0 when holding an opponent to 60 points or less, they are 1-5 when allowing 70 or more
DEE Brown says DEFENSE will win games and that the Illini are built on DEFENSE, All year long we have been dazzeled by brillant passing, scoring averages of 78 a game,
So if Mr Dee Brown is correct about defense winning the game I see Illinois winning 74-65
I really like the Over at 130 in this game, will stay away from the line at 11 now 11.5 at BoDog
