Can Texas Tech Defy the Odds and Conquer the Ultimate Road Challenge?

Can Texas Tech Defy the Odds and Conquer the Ultimate Road Challenge?

Illinois is currently ranked 14th, and I think they have a good chance to remain ranked high most of the season. They opened their year with wins over Jackson State and Florida Gulf Coast. Clearly these were warm-up games but the team did what they needed two and blew out both teams, putting in 113 points in both contests. I know their offense won’t look quite as impressive against real competition, but it is encouraging for them to see the ball going through the basket so many times. This Illinois team will be a lot different from the squad that went 22-13 last season. They made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament before they were ousted by Kentucky. They lost three of their main scorers, including team leader Kasparas Jakucionis. Tomislav Ivisic and Kylan Boswell are still in the mix and should give them stability. They have Andrej Stojakovic from a transfer, and their incoming freshmen are guard heavy.
