Prediction - Illinois is ready for this game and the players appear to be locked in for their post season run. I like the Illini, 82-76 over the Boilers.

“Safety/ linebacker Kaedyn Cobbs committed to the Illini over offers from Big 12 and other local schools to give the Illini their 9th 2026 commitment. He has a few 4 star mentions from evaluators…. I'm high on him since I think he fits in very well with the Illini.”

"It’s easy to see why Illinois, BYU, Kentucky, and Louisville are aggressively pursuing Suigo. He's an excellent perimeter shooter with strong post moves, and keeps the ball high, a key scoring advantage at 7-foot-3. He's very effective around the basketball and three-point shooting is outstanding."

“We all love open 3’s, and Illinois still wants to take them, but the off the dribble 3’s and the step backs early in the shot clock need to be a thing of the past.”
