Illinois Fighting Illini - NCAA Basketball Betting

The stars have moved on, but the Illini will be a factor in the Big Ten. Shooting guard Jamar Smith, who shot nearly 50 percent from three-point range, along with talented starters Brian Randle, Rich McBride, Shaun Pruitt and ox Warren Carter return. The loss of Dee Brown and James Augustine will be substantial but the Illini’s home court is too tough for them not to be a tough out.
