Illinois heads out to Seattle to take on the Gonzaga Bull Dogs.
Strong inside play of the Zags has Illinois worried coming into this game.
Last year these two played Zags went up by 21 and Illinois took it to OT to lose that game. The Zags still have that low post presence but have lost a great scoring guard to graduation from last years team.
Illinois is all back, and the influx of new talent that the Illini has will clearly make a difference in this game. This Illinois team is starting to get a swagger about themselves, it's not over the top just a slight spark in the step that they believe they can be a really good team and play with anyone in the nation.
One interesting stat: Zags are giving up 47% of the shots attempted on defense from the field, Illinois is hitting 51% for the season.
