I think Illinois is a bad match-up for us. They will pressure us even more than Minnesota, which we did not handle. If the refs called a tight game, we would have a chance at home.
The Purdue game we may have a chance if they can't hit 3's. We hung with them in the 1st half last year, on the road, without Gary, Bandomaul, and Griessel, if I remember right. The 2nd half they couldn't miss, and we got toasted.
